Notes

Notes for an External HDD (USB HDD)

You can use an external HDD in the following two ways. (A single HDD cannot handle those two ways simultaneously.)

• For recorded titles

Moving titles in the built-in HDD to a USB HDD to save the capacity of the built-in HDD.

• The USB HDD must first be registered on this unit. (> 68)

• For data files

• The USB HDD must be formatted in FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file system.

• The USB HDD over 2 TB is not usable.

• This unit supports USB 2.0 High Speed.

• Although this unit can use USB 3.0 dev ices as USB 2.0 devices, in certain cases USB 3.0 devices cannot be used due to differing connector shape, larger current ratings, etc. (Use of USB 2.0 devices is recommended.)

• This unit does not recognize USB HDDs other than those in which the size of one sector is 512-bytes or 4096-bytes. (For details, consult the dealer of your USB HDD.)

• This unit does not guarantee connectio n with all USB devices.

To format an SD card

Refer to “Format SD card”. (> 87)

• Usable memory is slightly less than the card capacity.

• If the SD card is formatted on other eq uipment, the time necessary for recording may be longer or the card may not be able to be used on this unit. In these cases, format the card on this unit.

• SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards ca n be used in equipment that is compatible with the appropriate cards. (SDHC Memory Cards can also be used in equipment compatible with SDXC Memory Cards)

in temperature (condensation can occur).

- Where static electricity or electromagnetic

waves occur.

Unit care

Getting started

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.

This unit cannot save (backup) the HDD titles to media. You have to be very careful when handling the unit and editing the title.

• If the HDD or USB HDD is damaged, the recorded content cannot be recovered.

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.

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

When moving the unit

1 Switch the unit to standby mode. (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. 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.)

Cleaning

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

• Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that came with the cloth.

When requesting this unit for repair

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.

To dispose or transfer this unit

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 (> 73, 78)

- Perform “Shipping Condition” (> 73, 85)
