∫ Handling of HDD [SDR-H100]

This unit is equipped with the built-in 80 GB HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a large amount of data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component, pay attention to the following points.

Do not expose the HDD to vibrations and shocks.

Due to the environment and handling conditions, the HDD may be subject to partial damages or may not be able to read, record, and play back data. Do not expose the unit to vibrations or shock, and do not turn off the power during recording or playback.

If the unit is used in a plac e with loud sounds, such as a club or similar venue, the recording may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording data on an SD card is recommended in these pl aces.

Back up data periodically.

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 79, 86)

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 124, 125) Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be restored.
