Maintaining the unit (Please turn off the power

different type or damaged cord may cause fire or
electric shock.
To save energy, be sure to turn off the system when

This product utilizes the open source software.

information.
Do not insert foreign object into this unit as this may cause
malfunction or electric shock.
A longer time may be required to search through data
stored in this equipment if the volume is too huge
(approximately 10,000 or more.). This is not a defect.
TV broadcast or other video (audio) recordings are for
personal use only. Unauthorized use of these materials is
strictly prohibited.
If the feet on the base of the unit are to be removed, make
sure that screws with a length of 8mm or less are used when
reattaching them.
The width of the borders on split screens (dark portion) may
vary according to the type of input signal. This is a
characteristic of this equipment and is not a defect.
Take the necessary precautions to prevent the recorder
from toppling over when it is stood up vertically.
Make sure that all static electricity has been discharged
before touching the input and output terminals during
installation and other procedures.
Malfunctions can occur owing to static electricity, so avoid
touching the rear panel during operations.
The DVD drive unit is an expendable part. Although the
service life of the DVD drive unit differs depending on the
usage environment of the customer, replacement every 500
or so exports (approximately 1,000 hours) as a guide is
recommended.
