Unit care

• If the HDD or USB HDD is damaged, the

recorded content cannot be recovered.

• The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke

or bug spray/vapour, etc. gets inside the

unit.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is

empty.

1 Switch the unit to standby mode. (Wait until

“Goodbye” disappears from the display.)

2 Remove the AC mains lead from the

household mains socket.

3 Move only after the unit has come to a

complete stop (approx. 3 minutes) in order to

avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even

after the unit is switched to standby mode, the

HDD continues operating for a short time.)

The registration of the USB HDD may be

cancelled in the process of repairing this unit.

You can use the USB HDD again by

re-registering, but all recorded content already on

the USB HDD will be lost. In such cases, the

recorded content (data) cannot be recovered.

This unit may contain private information. Before

disposing of or transferring this unit, perform the

following to delete the data, including personal or

secret information:

- Format HDD (> 87, 95)

- Perform “Shipping Condition” (> 87, 103)

HDD/USB HDD handling care

• The HDD is a high precision device

The HDD is a high precision recording

instrument and is easily susceptible to damage.

Therefore, be careful of the following points

while the unit is turned on, especially during

operation, otherwise the HDD and the recorded

content may be damaged:

- Do not subject the unit to any vibration and

shock.

- Do not remove the AC mains lead from the

household mains socket.

• The HDD is a temporary storage device

• The HDD is not an everlasting storage device.

It is recommended to save the recorded

content on a disc or to keep the original data or

CDs that they were copied from.

• If you notice a problem with the HDD such as

repetitive strange sounds, immediately save

(backup) all content and request service. If you

continue using the HDD with a problem, the

unit or the recorded content will be damaged.

Setup precautions

• Place the unit on a surface that is flat and

not subject to vibration or impact.

• Do not place on anything that generates heat

like a Set Top Box, etc.

• Place in an area where condensation does

not occur. Conditions where condensation

may occur

- When there is an extreme change in

temperature (e.g., when subjected to an air

conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts

the unit).

- When there is high humidity or a lot of steam

in the room.

In the above situation, without turning the unit

on, let the unit adjust to the room temperature

and wait 2–3 hours until condensation is gone.

When moving the unit
