1 BEFORE USE
Notes on handling removable HDDs
This unit uses removable hard disk drives (HDD).
Be sure to observe the following points carefully when
operating, setting-up and servicing the unit.
Do not subject the unit to shocks or vibration.
If the unit is subjected to shocks or vibration, it may
damage the HDD or cause corruption of the data stored in
the HDD.
z Do not move the unit while the power is turned on.
Always be sure to turn off the power before removing
the unit from or placing it onto the rack.
z When transporting the unit, pack it securely using the
specified packing materials. In addition, use a method
of transportation that minimizes vibration.
z When placing the unit down on a surface such as a
floor, attach the specified feet to the base of the unit
and place it down gently.
Do not move the unit for 30 seconds after
turning off the power.
After the power is turned off, the disk inside the HDD will
continue to spin for a brief period due to inertia, and the
heads will be in an unstable state.
During this time, the unit is even more susceptible to
shocks and vibration than when power is being supplied.
Make sure that the unit is not subjected to even gentle
vibration for at least 30 seconds after turning off the power.
Do not operate the unit when condensation
has formed.
If the unit is operated when condensation has formed, it
may cause operating problems.
If sudden changes in the ambient temperature occur, wait
for the temperature to stablize before operating the unit.
Notes when replacing the HDD
Be sure to follow the correct replacement procedure when
replacing the HDD.
z HDDs that have been removed from their packing may
not operate correctly if they are subjected to any shocks
and vibration. It is recommended that you place HDD
onto a soft, level surface with the printed circuit board
facing upward after unpacking it.
z Be careful not to subject the HDD to shocks or vibration
when removing and tightening screws as part of the
HDD replacement procedure. Make sure that all screws
are tightened securely so that they will not become
loose.
The HDD is sensitive to static electricity, so you should
take proper precautions to prevent static electricity
buildup.
Handling the HDD unit by itself
If transporting or storing the HDD unit by itself, always be
sure to pack it in the specified packing first.
In addition, use a method of transportation that minimizes
the vibration.
If the HDD becomes damaged, handle the unit and the
damaged HDD that has been removed in order for it to be
replaced carefully to prevent the problem from being
aggravated until as the nature of the problem can be
checked and analyzed.
Conditions to avoid
z The hard disk is sensitive to dust, vibrations and
shocks, and should also not be used near magnetic
objects. To prevent loss of recorded data, observe the
following precautions:
z Do not subject the digital video recorder to shocks.
z Do not use the digital video recorder on a vibrating or
unstable surface.
z Do not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet
during recording or playback.
z Do not use the digital video recorder in areas of
extreme temperature changes (10ºC or more per hour).
z Condensation may occur if the digital video recorder is
moved to an area of extremely different temperature or
high humidity. If the digital video recorder is used with
condensation inside it, operating problems may occur.
z Do not install the digital video recorder in areas of
constant vibration such as motor vehicles or trains.
The hard disk and cooling fan are
expendable items
Under use in an ambient temperature of 25ºC, the hard
disk should generally be replaced after 2 years, and the
cooling fan after 3 years. These figures are intended as
guidelines only, and are not guarantees of part
performance.
The CHANGE DISK indicator flashes if a problem occurs
in the hard disk or fan. (JP. 17)
Installation conditions
The digital video recorder has ventilation holes on its left,
rear and bottom panels. Make sure these holes are not
blocked after installation.
Do not use the unit in an area of poor ventilation such as a
bookshelf or box.
When installing the unit in a rack, ensure a gap of at least
5 cm at the top and bottom.
For important recordings
z Always make a test recording beforehand to check that
the digital video recorder’s playback is normal.
z Note that no compensation will be provided for losses
due to recording or playback problems arising from
problems with the digital video recorder or its connected
devices during operation.
z To be prepared for malfunctions or accidents, back up
important recordings periodically.
INTRODUCTION

BEFORE USE1
Hard disk protection
The hard disk is checked automatically at power ON. If a
hard disk problem is found, the CHANGE DISK indicator
flashes. To initialize the disk or save images stored on the
disk, contact a Sanyo service centre.
Care
z To clean the digital video recorder, unplug the power
plug from the wall outlet and wipe the unit lightly with a
soft cloth.
z To remove heavy grime, wipe the digital video recorder
with a well-wrung cloth soaked in a solution of water
and neutral detergent, and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
z Do not clean the unit with benzene or paint thinner.
Doing so may break down the finish or strip the paint.
z When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the
precautions provided with it.
z Do not spray insecticide or other volatile chemicals on
the cabinet. Do not allow rubber or vinyl products to
come into contact with the digital video recorder for
extended periods.
Doing so may break down the finish or strip the paint.
During extended disuse
Extended disuse may cause problems in functions, so turn
the power on and operate the unit occasionally during
such periods.
Backup battery
The digital video recorder comes with a built-in lithium
battery. When the digital video recorder has been
connected to a wall outlet for at least 48 hours and the
date and time have been set, the clock function will
continue to operate for up to 30 days after the power plug
is disconnected.
When disposing of the digital video recorder, contact a
Sanyo service centre for information on how to dispose of
the lithium battery.
