DVD & HDD Recorder Overview (Continued)

About the internal hard disk drive

The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of
equipment. Please use the recorder following the guide-
lines below to protect against possible HDD failure.
We recommend that you back up your important record-
ings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to protect against
accidental loss.
• Do not move the recorder while it is on.
• Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.
• Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
• Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid
places, or in places that may be subject to sudden
changes in temperature. Sudden changes in tempera-
ture can cause condensation to form inside the
recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
• While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from
the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the
breaker switch.
• Do not move the recorder immediately after switching
it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow
the steps below:
1. After the message POWER OFF is shown in the
display, wait at least two minutes.
2. Unplug from the wall socket.
3. Move the player.
• If there's a power failure while the recorder is on there
is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.
• The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an
unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD
will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems
include playback unexpectedly freezing and notice-
able block noise (mosaic) in the picture.
However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of
HDD failure.
If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will
be possible. In this case it will be necessary to
replace the HDD unit.
