Introduction
About the internal hard disk
drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece
of equipment. Please use the recorder following the
guidelines below to protect against possible HDD
failure.
We recommend that you back up your important
recordings onto DVD 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 sur-
face.
• 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 temperature 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 recorder.
• 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 noticeable 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.

indirect damage.This also applies if you repair the
recorder yourself (including repair of any compo-
nents other than HDD).

ent types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).
Caution

• If the vent holes on this recorder are blocked, heat
will accumulate inside, which could cause a fire.
Also touching the hot recorder could cause burns.
Do not push the recorder into an ill-ventilated,
narrow space, such as a bookcase or closet, or
cover it with table cloth, or place it on a carpet or
rug.
