Power Safety

Power source

• Always use the provided AC adaptor.

• Operate only from the power source specified 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-top box is not in use for a long time, disconnect it 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.

• Never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock.

• 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 sufficient 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 qualified personnel before operating it any further.

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

• 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 fire or give you an electrical shock.

• Check the power cord once in a while. When you find 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.

If you require any technical guidance or find that your TV is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions,

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 fire 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).

Hard Disk Safety

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.

Safe Use of the Equipment

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and remove the mains plug before making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive wear and tear or heat.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose 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.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

• When moving the Recorder, first turn off the power and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

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.
