About the LCD panel

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at
least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels
maybe "stuck", either always off (black), always on (red,
green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period
of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid
crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may appear
spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
Note that any such problems have no effect on recorded
data.
Precautions for products with built-
in HDD
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data corruption
