HDD (Hard disk drive) Handling Care

The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily suscept ble to damage. As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.

■ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust

Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any v bration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.

■ The HDD is a temporary storage device

The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.

■ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD

If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on an HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

 When the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with this unit.

■ Setup precautions

 Do not place in an enclosed area where the rear cooling fan

and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.

 Place the unit on a surface that is ﬂ at and not subject to

vibration or impact.

 Do not place on anything that generates

much heat, for example an audio ampliﬁ er.

 Do not place in an area often subject to

temperature changes.

 Place in an area where condensation does

not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.

 Conditions where condensation may occur

– When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from a

very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit). When the HDD (warms during operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of the HDD and

may cause damage to the HDD heads, etc. – When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room. – During the rainy season.

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.

DO NOT

This unit Ampliﬁ er

■ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or breakdown

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

■ While operating

 Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD

may become damaged.)

 Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains

socket, or ﬂ ip the power breaker switch. While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or movement due to rotation is normal.

■ When moving the unit

1 Turn the unit off. (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. 2

minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for a short time.)

■ Indemnity concerning recorded content

Panasonic does not accept any respons bility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).

This recorder requires 2 signal feeds from a satellite dish to be able to record 2 different channels at the same time. Please consult with your Panasonic dealer for details of dish installation.

Connect both satellite terminals (DISH IN 1 and DISH IN 2) to the satellite dish when you want to record 2

• programmes simultaneously or view TV during recording. Connect DISH IN 1 terminal to the satellite dish when you use only one terminal. (You cannot view if you

• connect only DISH IN 2 terminal.) In this case, you cannot record 2 programmes simultaneously or view TV during recording. Supply power from another device when you use 2 or more devices to receive satellite broadcast, because this

• unit does not supply power when it is turned in standby.

Before connection, turn off the mains for all connected equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.

• READ THE CAUTION

When your Television has an HDMI input terminal

When connected to an HDMI compatible unit, an uncompressed digital audio and video signal is transmitted, enabling you to enjoy high quality, digital video and audio with just one cable. When connecting to an HDMIcompatible HDTV (High Definition Television), the output can be switched to 1080p, 1080i or 720p HD video.

Regarding VIERA Link “HDAVI ControlTM” function

When connecting with a Panasonic TV (VIERA) or a receiver equipped with the “HDAVI Control” function, linked operations would be possible. [➔ 84, Linked Operations with the TV (VIERA Link “HDAVI Control™”/Q Link)]

Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilized.

• It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable.

Notes

The freesat channel uses Astra 2 at 28.2° East, and Eurobird 1 at 28.5° East satellites. To ensure your satellite

• dish is correctly installed please consult your freesat registered dealer. If you connect 2 satellite dishes for different satellites (e.g., DISH IN 1: Astra 28.2, DISH IN 2: Astra 19.2), the unit

• cannot receive the signal correctly. You can use the unit as one tuner when connecting DISH IN 1 to a satellite dish that can receive SKY.

• If connecting to equipment that is only compatible with 2 channel audio output, audio with 3 channels or more will

• be down-mixed (➔ 134) and output as 2 channels, even if connecting with an HDMI cable (some discs cannot be down-mixed). For display units compatible with HDCP (High-Band width Digital Content Protection) that are equipped with a

• “Off” (➔ 102).

Tips

You can check the satellite signal condition using “Signal Condition” in the Setup menu (➔ 96).

When the unit is not to be used for a long time

To save power, unplug it from the household mains socket. This unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned in standby. [approx. 0.4 W (“Power Save” is set to “On”)]

Timer Recording Using the TV Guide (freesat)

Various function with freesat

This unit has a function that enables timer recordings to be controlled by the signal sent from the broadcaster. “Guide Link”, “Series recording” (➔ 40), and “Split Programme” are available. “Guide Link” start and stop times can be controlled by the broadcaster, e.g. delayed start. This is indicated by “Guide Link” in the Timer Recording screen in step (➔ 29). “Series Timer Recording” — You can record all the episodes of a series by setting just one timer recording (➔ 40). “Split Programme” — If a programme is separated into 2 or more parts by some other programmes e.g. news, this unit pauses recording during the gap. This is indicated by “Split ” in the Timer Recording screen in step When setting timer from the 1st split programme, other parts of the programme will be automatically set and indicated by the timer icon on the TV Guide, but not shown on the timer recording list.

If the signal is not sent correctly, the recording may lack the beginning or the ending part of the programmes. In order to make the timer recording work successfully, we recommend you set the start time earlier and the end time later by some minutes, up to a maximum of 10 minutes for Guide Link to function. e.g. When you set the timer recording for a programme that will start at 10:00 and end at 11:00, set “9:58” and “11:05” in step

These functions are available for freesat channels only. Use “Manual timer recording” (➔ 39) to timer record Other Sat. channels.
