About the hard disk drive
The hard disk has a high storage

recording durations and quick
access to the written data. However,
it can easily be damaged by shock,
vibration or dust, and should be kept
away from magnets. To avoid losing
important data, observe the
following precautions.
• Do not use the recorder in a place
subject to extreme changes in
temperature (temperature gradient
less than 10 °C/hour).
• Do not apply a strong shock to the
recorder.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location subject to mechanical
vibrations or in an unstable
location.
• Do not place the recorder on top of
a heat source, such as a VCR or
AV amplifier (receiver).
• Do not move the recorder with its
AC power cord connected.
• Do not move the recorder for one
minute after you have unplugged
the AC power cord. After one
minute, move the recorder without
shock or vibration.
• Do not disconnect the AC power
cord while the power is on.
• Do not attempt to change the hard
disk. This may result in a
malfunction.
Should the hard disk be damaged,
you cannot recover lost data. The
hard disk is only a temporary
storage space.
On placement
• Place the recorder in a location
with adequate ventilation to
