Getting Started

PRECAUTIONS

Hard Disk Drive

The distance between the head and disk that read and write data on the hard disk drive (hereinafter known as the HDD) is a miniscule 0.02µm. Vibrations and physical shocks to the HDD may therefore result in the head coming into contact with the disk, producing dents and scratches to its surface. This will consequently prevent data from being read, and will result in disk crashes if use is continued. It is therefore necessary to handle the recorder with great care.

 Installation and Changing the Location of

Installation

• Do not move the recorder or commence the installation process when the power is turned on or immediately after the power has been switched off (for approximately one minute) under any circumstances. (The HDD will continue to rotate due to inertia for a few moments after the power has been switched off, and vibrations or physical shocks will result in damage.)

• Wrap the recorder in protecting packing to prevent physical shocks.

 Handling

• Handle this equipment with care. Do not subject it to physical shock.

• Do not unplug the power cord during recording or playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.

• The hard-disk is a consumable item. Replacement is recommended after 10000 hours of use (if use in a 25°C environment). For information on maintenance planning and costs, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

 If a power failure occurs during formatting of

hard disk, disconnection, or when configuring or disabling mirroring, operation of the equipment may be disabled even if it is connected to the UPS.

 Please note that we will not provide

compensation for any failure during recording or playback due to defects in this equipment or the hard disk drive.

 Please note that recorded images will be erased

when replacing hard disks. Note that there are cases where recorded images may be erased when firmware is upgraded.

PRECAUTIONS (continued)

Getting Started

 Place of storage and use

Please avoid storing or using this DVR in the following

places:

• Extremely hot or cold places beyond the allowable temperature for operation (5°C - 40°C).

• Humid or dry places beyond the allowable humidity range for operation (30 % - 80 % RH).

• Dusty or sandy places.

• Places exposed to oil, smoke or steam, such as the kitchen vicinity.

• Vibrating or unstable places.

• Places prone to condensation.

• Places that generates strong magnetic fields, e.g., transformer or motor.

• Places near devices that generate electric waves, e.g., transceiver or mobile phone.

• Places that generate radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases.

 Handling the unit

• Please do not place heavy objects on the DVR, like a monitor or TV. Also, do not stack the VR-509E units on top of each other.

• Please do not block the ventilation openings.

• Avoid violent shocks to the unit. Do not drop the unit.

 Maintaining the unit (Please turn off the power

before performing maintenance work.)

Please wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not wipe it with

thinner or benzene lest the surface melts or becomes dull.

For stubborn stains, wipe first with a water-diluted neutral

detergent and then wipe dry.

 Please use the supplied power cord. Using a

different type or damaged cord may cause fire or electric shock.

 To save energy, be sure to turn off the system when

not in use.

 Do not use the power cord supplied with this equipment on

other devices.

 Do not stack up the equipment to prevent temperature

within from rising.

 This product utilizes the open source software.

Refer to the instruction on page 81 to display the precise information.

 Do not insert foreign object into this unit as this may cause

malfunction or electric shock.

 A longer time may be required to search through data

stored in this equipment if the volume is too huge (approximately 10,000 or more.). This is not a defect.

 TV broadcast or other video (audio) recordings are for

personal use only. Unauthorized use of these materials is strictly prohibited.

 If the feet on the base of the unit are to be removed, make

sure that screws with a length of 8mm or less are used when reattaching them.

 The width of the borders on split screens (dark portion) may

vary according to the type of input signal. This is a

characteristic of this equipment and is not a defect.

 Take the necessary precautions to prevent the recorder

from toppling over when it is stood up vertically.

 Make sure that all static electricity has been discharged

before touching the input and output terminals during

installation and other procedures.

 Malfunctions can occur owing to static electricity, so avoid

touching the rear panel during operations.

 The DVD drive unit is an expendable part. Although the

service life of the DVD drive unit differs depending on the

usage environment of the customer, replacement every 500

or so exports (approximately 1,000 hours) as a guide is

recommended.

Copyrights

z The recording, dubbing, or playing of software

containing a copyright protection signal is not possible

on this DVD recorder.

z The usage of audio or video discs created using this

DVD recorder either for financial gain or in broadcasting

for widespread viewing may result in the legally-

enforceable rights of the copyright holder being

infringed.

z Unless the permission of the copyright holder has been

obtained, audio or video discs created using this DVD

recorder are to be used for personal enjoyment only.

Compensation for Damaged Content

 JVC accepts no responsibility whatsoever for damages

incurred as a result of an inability to play or record audio

and video content in the rare event that this DVD

recorder, a DVD-R, or a DVD-RW fails to operate

correctly.

 It is recommended that discs containing important

content be backed up at regular intervals (i.e., on a

yearly basis). Although digital signals do not deteriorate,

storage environments can have an effect on a disc’s

aging characteristics, and this may result in an inability to

play or record.

 If a disc should break, there will be no way to recover

data from it.

 Proper playback of discs recorded using this DVD

recorder on all devices is not guaranteed.

DEFRAG DATABASE

When alarm recording is performed repeatedly with Repeat

Recording set to “ALL” or “ALARM LOCK”, data in the hard disk

may become fragmented. Continued use of such data may

cause files to split up and be recorded into free space, thereby

giving rise to fragmentation or decay of data, which

subsequently slows down the speed dramatically during hard

disk searches. This is where the “DEFRAG DATABASE”

feature comes into play in the maintenance of the hard disk.

Setting up the Hard Disk for Mirroring (continued)

Precautions When Setting up Mirroring

• The capacity of the hard disk will be reduced by

approximately half when mirroring is set up. It is therefore

necessary to take care when setting recording times.

• Mirroring can only be set up for the built-in hard disk, and is

not possible on additional disks.

• Setting the system for mirroring is not a guarantee that

data will not be damaged.

• All events logged on the built-in hard disk and additional

hard disks will be deleted when mirroring is set up. It is

therefore necessary to take back-ups of all important

events beforehand.

• Depending on the recording settings and the operational

status, there is a possibility that playback speed will be

reduced and that the sound will not be synchronized with

the images when setting up the system for mirroring. This

is not a malfunction.

• If a power failure occurs which the mirroring settings

enabled, the re-creation process will be carried out once

again in the background. The safety of the recorded data

cannot be guaranteed while the recreation process is being

performed.

• Depending on the condition of the hard disk, there is a

possibility that the mirroring settings will fail. In this event,

cancel the mirroring settings, and then begin the setup

process once again.

• Recording and playback is not possible when the mirroring

settings are being processed.

• As the hard disk capacity displayed on the screen is

calculated as 1GB = (1024)

actually exists will be displayed.

• If a defect occurs on one of the hard disks, the function for

exporting data onto DVDs will not operate.

• The objective of mirroring is to protect recorded data in the

event that the VR-509 hard disk malfunctions. Note that

there are cases where operations cannot be continued

even when mirroring has been set up depending on the

type of hard disk malfunction.

Configuration of Completed DVDs

• The periods specified during the export process will be

sorted by title. A maximum of 99 titles can be created.

• The chapters included in each title will be created for each

recording type. A maximum of 99 chapters can be created

for each title (although the chapters will not be divided if

there are internal links for alarm files.)

Additionally, the chapters will be divided automatically in

files of up to six hours in accordance with the recorded

file’s information (recording rate and recording time.)

• Serial numbers, channels, the starting time and ending

time of recordings, and the recording mode will be

appended to the title of DVD recording.

• The playback mode is the title loop.

• There are cases where the starting times of chapters within

titles are a maximum ten seconds prior to the specified

starting times.

Points to Note During DVD Export

• Playback from the hard disk is not possible when data is being recorded onto DVDs.

• All data exported to DVD-R discs when the DVD export function is executed cannot be deleted. In the case of DVD-RW discs, the current data can be deleted and replaced with new export data.

• The DVD tray cannot be opened during DVD export and disc loading.

• A maximum of 99 titles can be recorded onto a single DVD. Additionally, a maximum of 99 chapters can be created for each title.

• The maximum number of chapters that can be exported when the export format is in self-playing format is limited to a total of 498 (249 when audio sound is included.)

• Image distribution onto a network will be suspended during DVD exporting.

• Malfunctions on the hard disk may result in the DVD export function not being able to be used.

• When data that is less than a total of 1GB is to be exported onto a DVD-R, it will be expanded to approximately 1GB of data and exported accordingly, depending on the rating for the DVD-R. This will consequently result in additional time required for the process to be completed.

• There are cases where the “CHAPTER OVER” error message will be displayed if the [FRAME RATE] parameter is set at [AUTO] during alarm according when the alarm recording is exported to the DVD. This is caused by the VR-509E’s DVD conversion specifications (*1), so when this occurs it is necessary to reduce the amount of periods that are to be exported to the DVD, and then execute the [CHECK] or [EXPORT] functions once again. *1: As the VR-509E exports data for which the frame rate

has been converted as different alarm recorded data when frame rates are changed in accordance with the [AUTO] setting for a single alarm recording, the number of alarms that are exported exceeds the actual number of alarms.

• See page 112 for guidelines to the amount of time that can be recorded onto a single DVD. The relationships between the export format and the permissible recording time are shown below.
