About the internal hard disk
drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile
piece of equipment. When used without the
proper care or in the wrong conditions, it is
possible that recorded contents may be
damaged or lost entirely, in some cases
making even normal playback or recording
impossible. Please understand that in the
event of repair or replacement of the HDD or
related components, all your HDD
recordings will be lost.
Please use the recorder following the
guidelines below to protect against possible
HDD failure.
The HDD should not be regarded as a place to
store recordings permanently. We
recommend that you back up your important
recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect
against accidental loss.
Pioneer cannot under any circumstances
accept responsibility for any direct or indirect
loss arising from any inconvenience or loss of
recorded material resulting from HDD failure.
• Install and use the recorder on a stable,
level surface.
• 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.
• 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 on the front panel 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 over
time in an improper manner or in an
unsuitable environment, it is possible
that the HDD will fail. 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.
Optimizing HDD performance
As you record and edit material on the HDD,
the data on the disk becomes fragmented,
eventually affecting the recorder’s
performance. Before this happens, the
recorder will warn you that it is time to
optimize the HDD (which you can do from
the Disc Setup menu; see
Optimize HDD
on
page 100).
