4. Installation
If your HDV-Recorder features a removable/
exchangeable hard-drive, please note that
the installation for each new removable hard-
drive that is to be used must be undertaken
separately.
To install, please power up the HDV-Recorder,
open the DVD tray and insert the included
installation CD/DVD. Power down the HDV-
Recorder using the front power on button and
power up the system again – this will lead to a
start from CD.
Now select if you wish to start a complete
installation (all data is deleted!) or an update
installation. Once you have opted for the
installation method, you merely need to conrm
again to make sure.
The installation now begins automatically. After
the installation, which may take some time,
remove the CD/DVD from the tray and press the
Menu button to restart the recorder.
5. Removing /exchanging hard-
drives
To exchange the removable hard-drive inside
the unit, please follow these steps:
The recorder must be powered down! Push the
lever on the hard-drive sled to the left in order
to unlock it. Next, use the included key to unlock
the sled. Now pull the sled out of the recorder.
Insert and shove the sled with the new hard-
drive into the recorder until you noticeably hear
it lock in place. Lock the sled. Make sure that
the lock has returned to the horizontal position!
Now restart the recorder and monitor if the
green LED is active. If not, please check the lock
position again.
6. Powering up / powering down
The recorder is powered up using the power
button found on the front panel.
After a while, you will see a grey screen with the
note `No HDV-Signal´ or simply with the actual
HDV signal coming from your camera.
You can now use the PAL menu (chapter 7.8) and
the Display menu (chapter 7.9) to change the
video mode for the used monitor.
After installation, the system is initially by
default set to a 800x600 monitor with 60 Hz.
