Safety Precautions

Power Source Power

• Always use the provided AC adaptor.

• Operate only from the power source specied on

the AC adaptor.

• The power adaptor may become hot during normal

operation. This is not a malfunction.

• Please make sure that the adaptor is not covered

while in operation. Leave a space of 15 cm (minimum)
around the AC adaptor.

• The rating information and safety caution of the AC

adaptor are provided on the adaptor.

WARNING: When the set is not in use for a long time,

disconnect from the power.

Power Cord

• Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on
the power cord, or pinch the cord. Handle the power

cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging
the cord and never touch the power cord when your
hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it
with other cords. The power cords should be routed
in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped

on. A damaged power cord can cause re or give you

an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a

while. When you nd it damaged, ask closest service

agent for help.

• Please do not place the set in a place subject to
direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock

or in a location near heat sources.

• The device should be placed on a solid and safe

base.

• Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such

as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on
the bottom.

• The selected location should not have a high

humidity. Condensation, that may arise in a kitchen
for example, may cause a malfunction or damage

the device.

• Heating or other thermal radiation under the set

also may cause malfunction or damage the device.

• The hot air, which arises during operation, should be

ventilated with sufcient air circulation. Please do not

put the device into closed areas and do not cover it.

• Please avoid contact of the device with water or

humidity. Do not put into operation near bath,

swimming pools.

• Take care to provide good air circulation. Place the

device in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the device.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the device and have it checked by qualied

personnel before operating it any further.

• The device should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects lled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the device.

CAUTION

• Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, re or the like.

Connection to a Television Distribution System
(Cable TV etc.) from Tuner

Device connected to the protective earthing
of the building installation through the mains
connection or through other apparatus with a
connection to protective earthing-and to a

television distribution system using coaxial cable,
may in some circumstances create a re hazard.

Connection to a cable distribution system has
therefore to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency

range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11)

SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE
OF EQUIPMENT

- 3 -

This equipment has been designed and
manufactured to meet international safety
standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the
best results and to ensure its safety.

dangerous voltages.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the

equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and

shorten the life of the equipment.

Power On-Off

Connect all cables before plugging into the mains. After plugging in the AC adaptor for the set top box

to the mains supply, red light will be seen on the front panel (Standby mode). When the set top box
is first powered up please wait until the box is initialized before activating the receiver since booting
of software will take some time. Please wait until unit is initialized. This may take almost a minute.

Important - Hard Disk Information

This Recorder has a built in hard disk (abbreviated
as HDD ) for recording and playback. Beware of
the following points when setting up and using the
Recorder. Failure to observe precautions may cause

damage to the HDD itself or its content, failure of the
disk to operate, or recording of noise.

• Do not subject the Recorder to any vibration or

impact.

• Do not place the Recorder in a cramped location

which might block the ventilation port on the back of
the Recorder.

• Do not place the Recorder in a location with severe

temperature variation.

• If the Recorder is set up in a location with severe
temperature variation, dew may form on and inside

the Recorder. If the Recorder is used with internal

dew formation present, this may cause HDD damage

or malfunction. We recommend keeping variation in

room temperature within 10˚C per hour.

• Do not place the Recorder in a location with high

humidity.

• Place the Recorder horizontally, never at an

incline.

• Do not place a magnetic device (magnet etc.) close

to the recorder.

• When the power is on, do not unplug the AC adaptor
from the AC outlet, turn off the breaker for the area
where the Recorder is set up, or move the Recorder.

When moving the Recorder, rst turn off the power and

then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Recording Format

• HDD recording is done using the variable bit rate

format (VBR) for more efficient recording. The
following phenomena may occur.

With the variable bit rate format, the remaining amount

which can be recorded may increase or decrease
relative to the display of the remaining amount of
HDD space.

• When the display indicates that the remaining
amount of HDD space is low, rst delete unnecessary
programmes, and then record with an extra margin

in the amount of remaining space. There is an option

in the conguration menu to discard the recordings.

You can choose between three options:

Deleting,

1 – Oldest recordings

2 – Largest recordings

3 – Shortest recordings

When the HDD is out of space, it will operate regarding

one of these options and delete the

recordings.

• Even if you delete a programme, the remaining

amount may not increase by the amount of deleted

time. When recording new video, record with an extra

margin in the amount of remaining space.

Unrecordable Material

In the unlikely event that there is some problem like
loss of recorded video or audio content due to an HDD

malfunction, please be aware beforehand that we will

bear no responsibility to compensate for the content

which could not be recorded or edited, for the loss of
recorded or edited video, or for other related direct or

indirect damages.

- If a power failure occurs

• The content being recorded or timer recorded may

be damaged if power failure occurs.

• The content being played back may be damaged.

- For important recording

NOTE

• If a message indicating an HDD error is displayed
(such as “ERROR IN HDD. CANNOT OPERATE.”)
and the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace
the HDD by yourself. If you disassemble the Recorder,
the warranty will become void. Also, recovery of data
is impossible.

Hard Disk Operation (Recording / Playback / Time
Shift Recording)

If the Recorder is used in a cold location (a location

at low temperature), the drive will only allow live

viewing after power is turned on until the HDD is

ready. During this time, the Recorder will not allow
Time Shift Viewing, recording, display of recording

lists or playback of recorded programmes. Please
wait until the HDD is ready.
