Follow the precautions indicated below to prevent damage to
the internal HDD. (Not following precautions may result in a
loss of recording, stop of operation or recording of noise.)
∫ While operating
≥Do not remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet, or flip the
power breaker switch.
≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact.
➜
When moving the unit:
1 Turn the power switch off (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the
display)
2 Remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet
3 Move after waiting more than 2 minutes.
While power is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or
movement due to rotation is normal.
∫ In the event of a power failure
Program content during recording or play may be damaged (includ-
ing SD VIDEO programs).
∫ Safeguards against accidental loss
Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contents you wish
to keep permanently should be dubbed to DVD-RAM or DVD-R.
∫ When “HDD SLEEP” appears in the display
The HDD has automatically gone into SLEEP mode in order to
extend the life of the HDD. (The [HDD] button on the main unit
flashes and then goes out.)
≥Press [HDD] to activate.
≥While in SLEEP mode play or recording may not begin right away
because the HDD takes time to be re-activated.
≥If there is no disc in the unit, the HDD will go into SLEEP mode
after there has been no operation for 30 minutes or longer. When
not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc.
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression
system to vary recorded data segments to match video data seg-
ments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of time
and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount time is insufficient, erase any unwanted
programs to create enough space before you start recording. (Eras-
ing a play list will not increase the amount of time.)
