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.

zHDDs 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.

zBe 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

zThe 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:

zDo not subject the digital video recorder to shocks.

zDo not use the digital video recorder on a vibrating or unstable surface.

zDo not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet during recording or playback.

zDo not use the digital video recorder in areas of extreme temperature changes (10ºC or more per hour).

zCondensation 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.

zDo 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

zAlways make a test recording beforehand to check that the digital video recorder’s playback is normal.

zNote 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.

zTo be prepared for malfunctions or accidents, back up important recordings periodically.

INTRODUCTION

English

1 BEFORE USE

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

zTo clean the digital video recorder, unplug the power plug from the wall outlet and wipe the unit lightly with a soft cloth.

zTo 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.

zDo not clean the unit with benzene or paint thinner. Doing so may break down the finish or strip the paint.

zWhen using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the precautions provided with it.

zDo 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.

MENU button

The [MENU] button is disabled when the unit is connected to a PC. When the [MENU] button is operative, operations from the PC are disabled.

AC adapter

Do not use the AC adapter with other equipment.

English

2 REPLACING A REMOVABLE HDD

A separately-sold hard disk tray (VA-DT300) can be installed to facilitate easier storage and replacement.

zWhen replacing with a HDD used in a DSR-300P;

Among the menu settings, only the recording area settings and overwrite ON/OFF settings are used for HDD settings.

zWhen replacing with a HDD used in a DVR other than a DSR-300P;

It is treated as a new HDD. The recorded contents will be initialized.

zAbout the HDD;

Install an HDD provided by Sanyo. If an HDD supplied by a company other than Sanyo is used, Sanyo cannot be responsible for failures in performance or operation.

Replacement

zAlways set the HDD as the master.

The recorder will not operate if slave or cable select is set.

zIn cases where the HDD is not set as the master, or for whatever reason, it is not recognized by the unit, remove the power plug from the wall outlet, wait for approximately 30 seconds, and then remove the HDD.

1 Connect the removable HDD’s connector and place the HDD inside the tray.

Remove the brown antistatic sheet inside the tray.

2 Assemble and tighten the 4 screws.

*Screw tightening torque: 0.5 to 0.6 N•m Use a non-slip torque screwdriver.

3 Replace the cover.

Slide the cover over the case until the clasp locks into place.

Clasp

4 Place the removable HDD tray inside the unit.

Push in the HDD tray as far as it will go.

5 Insert the tray release key, turn it in the direction of the arrow, and then press the [CHANGE DISK] button.

The HDD indicator will light up and the CHANGE DISK indicator will switch from green to red.

CHANGE DISK indicator

zAlways remove the HDD from the recorder when attaching it to the removable HDD tray and transporting it.

zCorrect operation cannot be guaranteed with HDDs not recorded to using a DSR-300P. If you want to use a HDD that has been recorded on by a different DVR, be sure to initialize it before use.

zEven if the tray to which the HDD has been attached is connected directly to a PC, the playback of images will not be possible.

4 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Connecting the power cord

1 When you have finished making all the other connections, insert the power plug into the wall outlet.

There is no power switch. The display indicators flash, and after a few moments, the monitor screen displays the camera image.

*Attach the supplied ferrite core to the base of the power cable (coiling not necessary).

zWhen turning the power ON for the first time

“PLEASE SET THE CLOCK” is displayed on the monitor screen. Follow the procedures on P. 21 to set the clock.

zIf the clock is already set

The operation display area is displayed.

Operation	0101- 04
display area	0101- 04

zIf the CHANGE DISK indicator is flashing in red

The digital video recorder has a self-check function that indicates problems. If there is a problem at power ON or during operation, the type of problem is indicated by how rapidly the CHANGE DISK indicator flashes. Contact a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre if the CHANGE DISK indicator flashes.

4 flashes per second:

The hard disk is checked automatically at power ON.

If a hard disk problem is found, the CHANGE DISK indicator flashes, and the hard disk must be replaced or reformatted. If you need to save images stored on the disk, contact a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre.

1 flash per second: Fan problem

zIf you disconnect the power cable

Do not move the recorder or subject it to vibration for at least 30 seconds after turning OFF the power.

The disk in the hard disk drive briefly keeps spinning after power OFF due to inertia, during which time the head is unstable. At this time, the disk is sensitive to shocks or vibrations, so avoid even light shocks.
