Unit care

Getting started

HDD/USB HDD handling care

- 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

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. 1 Switch the unit to standby mode. (Wait until

- there is not enough space left.

- the number of possible titles has reached its

maximum.

- programmes are deactivated, etc.

• Because the actual broadcast time may be different from the time displayed on the TV Guide, we recommend you set the start time earlier and the end time later by some minutes, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

The timer recording programmed via VIERA Connect does not work properly.

• Timer recording programmed via VIERA Connect will be recorded with the same conditions as those of manual timer recording, and some functions such as “Guide Link” (> 31) does not work.
