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 flat and not subject to vibration or impact.

Do not place on anything that generates much heat, for example an audio amplifier.

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.

■ 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 flip 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

1Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.) 2Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

3Move 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) HDD

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 in step ( 29).

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 ( 29).

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.

•Confirm that the clock on the unit’s display is set to the correct time.
