HDD (Hard disk drive) Handling Care

The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible to damage. As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.

■ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust

Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.

■ The HDD is a temporary storage device

The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.

■ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD

If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on an HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

 When the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with this unit.

■ Setup precautions

 Do not place in an enclosed area where the rear cooling fan

and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.

 Place the unit on a surface that is ﬂ at and not subject to

vibration or impact.

 Do not place on anything that generates

much heat, for example an audio ampliﬁ er.

 Do not place in an area often subject to

temperature changes.

 Place in an area where condensation does

not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.

 Conditions where condensation may occur

– When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from a

very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit). When the HDD (warms during operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of the HDD and

may cause damage to the HDD heads, etc. – When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room. – During the rainy season.

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.

DO NOT

This unit Ampliﬁ er

■ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or breakdown

The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor, etc. gets inside the unit.

■ While operating

 Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD

may become damaged.)

 Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains

socket, or ﬂ ip the power breaker switch. While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or movement due to rotation is normal.

■ When moving the unit

1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” 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. 2

minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for a short time.)

■ Indemnity concerning recorded content

Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).

Timer Recording Using the TV Guide (freesat)

Various function with freesat

This unit has a function that enables timer recordings to be controlled by the signal sent from the broadcaster. “Guide Link”, “Series recording” (➔ 40), and “Split Programme” are available. “Guide Link” — If you set a timer recording from the TV Guide, the recording’s start and stop times can be controlled by the broadcaster, e.g. delayed start. This is indicated by “Guide Link” in the Timer Recording screen in step (➔ 29). “Series Timer Recording” — You can record all the episodes of a series by setting just one timer recording (➔ 40). “Split Programme” — If a programme is separated into 2 or more parts by some other programmes e.g. news, this unit pauses recording during the gap. This is indicated by “Split” in the Timer Recording screen When setting timer from the 1st split programme, other parts of the programme will be automatically set and indicated by the timer icon on the TV Guide, but not shown on the timer recording list.

If the signal is not sent correctly, the recording may lack the beginning or the ending part of the programmes. In order to make the timer recording work successfully, we recommend you set the start time earlier and the end time later by some minutes, up to a maximum of 10 minutes for Guide Link to function. e.g. When you set the timer recording for a programme that will start at 10:00 and end at 11:00, set “9:58” and “11:05” in step

These functions are available for freesat channels only. Use “Manual timer recording” (➔ 39) to timer record Other Sat. channels.

This operation will only record to HDD in DR mode.

Preparation:

Turn on the television and select the video input terminal that this unit is

• connected to. Turn on this unit.

■ FR (Flexible Recording Mode)

You can set FR (Flexible Recording) mode when copying or recording from external equipment. The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8 Hours) that will enable the recordings to ﬁ t in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality. For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the picture quality is adjusted to between “XP” and “SP”.  When recording to the HDD, picture quality is automatically adjusted to ﬁ t a copied title on a 4.7 GB disc.

BD-RE BD-R



The recording time may be longer than the values indicated above, if you copy the titles recorded from radio service.

 Due to peculiarities of BD-RE and BD-R, you may be unable to copy to them even if disc space is remained.

■ Regarding recording time remaining

DR mode recording

Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of approx. 14 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the displayed remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.

Other recording modes (title conversion or from external input)

This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.

If the remaining amount of time is insufﬁ cient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording.

The sound of the disc rotating becomes louder than normal. If you want copy to perform more quietly, select “Normal (Silent)” in “BD/DVD Speed for High Speed Copy” in the Setup menu (➔ 101).

When not copying in high speed mode, titles are temporarily copied at normal speed to the HDD and then copied at high speed to the disc. The titles that were temporarily copied to the HDD are then deleted. You cannot copy to the disc in the following cases.

– When there is not enough free space on the HDD. (When copying to a new blank disc, if

you intend to ﬁ ll a new disc when copying to it, the equivalent of up to 4 hours of free

space in SP mode is needed on the HDD.) – When the number of titles recorded to the HDD and the number of titles to be copied to

the disc is greater than 499 in total.
