About repairing the hard

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

sure to disconnect the
recorder from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the AC power
cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the
