The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid erasing data due t o static electricity, electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l 109, 117)

If the HDD experiences any abnormality, back up data immediately.

Failure in the HDD may produce continuous noise or choppy sound during recording or playing back. Continuous use will cause further deterioration, and may eventually disable the HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy the data on the HDD to a PC, a DVD disc etc. immediately and contact consumer support. (l 161, 162) Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be restored.

Operation may stop in hot or cold environments.

The unit is disabled in order to protect the HDD.
