About repairing the hard
disk drive
• The contents of the hard disk
drive may be checked in case
of repair or inspection during
a malfunction or
modification. However, the
contents will not be backed up
or saved by Sony.
• If the hard disk needs to be
formatted or replaced, it will
be done at the discretion of
Sony. All contents of the hard
disk drive will be erased,
including contents that violate
copyright laws.
On power sources
• The recorder is not
disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the recorder
itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the
recorder for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the
recorder from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the AC power
cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the
cord.
On placement
• Place the recorder in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
recorder.

soft surface such as a rug that
might block the ventilation
holes.

confined space such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not place the recorder in a

the recorder.

compensate for any lost
