not sure of the type of power supply to your home or business, consult product dealer or local power company
3. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The product
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
4. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products that produce heat.
5. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water.
6. Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
7. Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the product.
8. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
9. Lightning – For added protection for this product during storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line
surges.
10. Object and Liquid Entry Points – Never insert foreign objects into the HVR, other than the media types
approved by OpenEye, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire
or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
11. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may
fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product.
12. Disc Tray – Keep fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. Neglecting to do so may cause serious
personal injury.

personal injury and product malfunction.
15. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the unit from the outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
• If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
• If the unit has been dropped or the enclosure has been damaged.
• When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.
16. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product as opening or removing covers may expose the user to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
17. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
18. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

This HVR is designed to last for long periods of time. To keep the HVR always operational we recommend regular
inspection maintenance (cleaning parts or replacement). For details, contact the nearest dealer.
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture condensation damages the HVR. Read the following information carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:
• When this product is brought directly from a cool location to a warm location.
• When this product is moved to a hot and humid location from a cool location.
• When this product is moved to a cool and humid location from a warm location.
• When this product is used in a room where the temperature fluctuates.
• When this product is used near an air-conditioning unit vent
• When this product is used in a humid location.
Do not use the HVR when moisture condensation may occur.

RACK MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Grounding – Grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

PREFACE
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This manual is a setup and maintenance guide that can be used for reference when setting up the X-Series HVR and
for troubleshooting when a problem occurs. Only authorized personnel should attempt to repair this unit.
OpenEye reserves the right to make changes to the products represented by this manual without notice.
The following text and symbols mark special messages throughout this guide:
Note Text set off in this manner indicates information that is necessary for proper operation of the
product.
Tip Text set off in this manner indicates information that may be helpful.
TECHNICIAN NOTES
Warning Only authorized technicians trained by OpenEye should attempt to repair this HVR. All
troubleshooting and repair procedures that may be shown are for reference and minor
repair only. Because of the complexity of the individual components and subassemblies, no
one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any
printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. And any indications of
component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty
Warning To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
• Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from
the electrical outlet or the computer.
Caution To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance
at the front and back of the HVR.
