Notes About This
Recorder
On operation
• If the recorder is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location, or is
placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense inside the
recorder. Should this occur, the
recorder may not operate properly.
In this case, if the recorder is on,
leave it on (if it is off, leave it off) for
about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• When you move the recorder, protect
it from any shock. If you don’t, the
hard disk drive may be damaged.
On the Hard Disk
• A hard disk drive is built in to the
recorder to enable you to record and
store programming so you no longer
need to record to video tapes.
The hard disk drive in this recorder is
80GB, allowing you to store 80 hours
of programming depending on the
compression technology.
• The amount of hard disk space
available is displayed in the Hard
Disk Usage bar. See page 16. This
indicates the amount of free, used
and reserved space for scheduled
recordings currently available.
On the compression
technology
• You can increase the capacity of the
hard disk by compressing the
broadcast to maximise storage space.
When recording a programme on the
hard disk, you can select your
preferred recording mode, equivalent
to VCR recording modes. These
range from SP (Standard Play – the
normal recording speed) offering
highest quality recordings using
maximum hard disk capacity, LP
(Long Play), to EP (Extended Play),
creating lowest quality recording
using minimum hard disk capacity.
• Recorded programmes can be
compressed to create additional
storage space, either when the
recording is set (page 26) or once the
recording has been made (page 39).
When this occurs, additional disk
space is required to perform the
operation. It may be necessary to
delete existing recordings stored in
the Title List to allow for the
compression to take place.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a section with very low
level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged when
a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
About repairing the hard
disk drive
• It may be necessary to access data
stored on the hard disk for testing
purposes; there is no intention to
copy or store the data, titles or any
other information.
• If replacement or initialization
(format) is required, the hard disk
will be formatted at our discretion. In
this case, please note that all of the
contents recorded there will be
erased (including any data found to
violate copyright law).
