Getting started Unit care

HDD/USB HDD handling care

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

-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.

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

Setup precautions

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.

-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.

1Switch the unit to standby mode. (Wait until “GOOD-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. 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.)

Check security before using Home Network function

If you set “Home Network function” to “On”, all connected devices on the same network can access this unit. Ensure that the router for your home network has adequate security system to prevent unauthorised access.

Refer to the operating instructions of the hub or router.

If you set “Home Network function” or “TV Anywhere” to “On”, the setting for “Quick Start” is fixed to “On”.

Do not use this unit to connect to any wireless network for which you do not have usage rights.

During automatic searches in a wireless network environment, wireless networks (SSID) for which you do not have usage rights may be displayed; however, using these networks may be regarded as illegal access.

After performing network settings on this unit, the settings (encryption level, etc.) of the Wireless router might change. When you have trouble getting online on your PC, perform the network settings on your PC in accordance with the settings of Wireless router.

Please be aware that connecting to a network without encryption may result in the content of the communication being illegitimately viewed by a third party, or the leaking of data such as personal or secret information.

§1 SSID:

An SSID (Service Set IDentification) is a name used by wireless LAN to identify a particular network. Transmission is possible if the SSID matches for both devices.

§2 Depending on the settings of the wireless router, its SSID may not be found. For details, refer to the operating instructions for the wireless router.

§3 The wireless router compatible with Wi-Fi Protected SetupTM may have the mark.
