Conditions where condensation
may occur

in temperature (moving from a
very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or
when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air
directly impacts the unit).

–During the rainy season.
In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the
unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours
until condensation is gone.

or breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/
vapour, etc. gets inside the unit.
When moving the unit
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and
because of its long recording capability and high speed
operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible
to damage.
As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.
∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to
withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the
HDD some content may become damaged and play and
recording may no longer be possible. Especially during
operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or
remove the AC mains lead from the household mains
socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or
play, the content may be damaged.
∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device
DO NOT
The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded
content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-
off viewing, editing, or copying. It is recommended to save
the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or

CDs that they were copied from.
VCR
∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as
soon as you feel there may be a problem
with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange
sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may
result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the
problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer be
usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all
content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data)
on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.
≥When the unit is turned on or off, there may be an
unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with
this unit.
