Precautions

Special notice

Do not move, lift up the system, or disconnect the AC power cord while it is operating. Especially, do not subject it to vibration or shock while the system is reading data. This may cause reading errors or malfunction of the CD-R/RW disc.

On installation

• Avoid placing the filing system in a location subject to:

– vibration – high humidity – excessive dust – direct sunlight – extremely high or low temperatures

On operation

• Operate the filing system on 120 V AC 60 Hz only.

• Do not move the system while it is operating as this

may cause a malfunction.

• The filing system is designed to operate horizontally. Never attempt to operate the filing system in a tilted position.

• Do not place heavy objects on the filing system.

• If the filing system is brought directly from a cold

location to warm location or placed in an extremely warm or humid room, moisture may condense inside the unit. In such cases the filing system will probably not work properly and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the power and do not use the filing system for at least one hour.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.

For Your Information

Page 73

On transport

When you transport the filing system, remove the CDR/RW, “Memory Stick“ and PC card from the filing system and put the filing system in the original box with the protective packaging.

If you no longer have the original box and packing parts, use similar packing material so that the filing system will not be damaged while in transport.

About the lens

Do not touch the lens of the filing system. Keep the disc tray closed except when inserting and removing a disc to prevent dust from getting on the lens.

About the LCD screen (DPF-P7D only)

• Do not wipe the surface of LCD screen with a wet cloth. Moisture may cause malfunction.

• Do not place heavy objects or drop anything on the LCD screen. Do not put pressure on the screen with your hands or elbow.

• If the filing system is brought directly from a cold location to warm location, moisture may condense on the LCD screen. If moisture condensation occurs, wipe the surface of the screen with dry tissue paper. When the surface of the screen is cold, moisture may condense on it again after you wipe it. In this case, leave it until it returns to normal temperature.

• Note that black, red, green, or blue dots may appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction.

Notes on Discs

Handling

• To keep the disc clean, handle it only by the edges. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not write on or stick paper or tape to the surface of the disc.

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, as the disc may damage the CD-RW drive.

For Your Information

continued

For Your Information

Page 74

Precautions (continued)

Storage

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources, such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

• After playing the disc, store it in its case. Stacking discs without cases or leaving a disc exposed may cause the disc to warp.

About special shape CDs

You can use only round CDs. Do not use special shape CDs, for example, star or heart shaped. It may cause a malfunction.

Maintenance

On cleaning

Cleaning the lens

If you accidentally touch the lens with dirty fingers or if dust on the lens prevents the CD-RW drive from operating properly, clean the lens.

Cleaning discs

• Fingerprints or dust may cause picture noise or reduced sound quality.

• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

For Your Information

Note

Do not clean the LCD screen with a moistened cloth. Moisture may cause a malfunction.

• If soiled, clean the disc with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then remove the moisture with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially-available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not clean CD-R/RW discs with a cleaning cloth before recording. Use a blower brush to remove the dust.

• Handle CD-R/RW discs with care before recording. Scratches or dust may cause a malfunction.

Cleaning the LCD screen (DPF-P7D only)

Clean the LCD screen gently with a soft dry cloth.

About “Memory Stick”

“Memory Stick” is a new, compact, portable and versatile IC (integrated circuit) recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage.

Types of “Memory Stick”

There are two types of “Memory Stick”: “Memory Stick” and “MagicGate Memory Stick”. “MagicGate Memory Stick” is equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology*. “Memory Stick” does not include this copyright protection technology. You can use both types of “Memory Stick” with this unit. However, because this unit does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with this unit is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.

* MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses

encryption technology.

For Your Information

“Memory Stick” and are trademarks of Sony Corporation.

MagicGate, , “MagicGate Memory Stick”, and

are trademarks of Sony Corporation.

Notes on using the “Memory Stick”

• Avoid touching the connector of the “Memory Stick”

or letting it come in contact with a metal object.

• When attaching a label to a “Memory Stick” as

specified on the next page, use the label supplied for the “Memory Stick” only. Do not use any other labels.

• Do not drop, bend, or submit the “Memory Stick” to

external shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory Stick”.

• Avoid getting liquids on the “Memory Stick”.

Page 77

• Avoid using or storing the “Memory Stick” in a

location subject to: – extremely high temperature such as the hot inside

of a car or outdoors exposed to a burning sun, or a place near a heater.

– direct sunlight – high humidity – corrosive substances – excessive dust

• When storing and carrying the “Memory Stick”, keep

it in its original case to ensure protection of

important data.

• Avoid removing the “Memory Stick” from the insertion slot while the access indicator is lit—the filing system is reading or writing the data on the

“Memory Stick” .

• In the following cases, the stored data may be

damaged or erased:

– when turning off the power of the filing system or

when removing the “Memory Stick” from the insertion slot while the filing system is accessing the “Memory Stick”.

– when using the “Memory Stick” near magnets or

magnetic fields

About PC cards

Notes

• You cannot use PC cards with power specifications of 3V only.

• Do not insert other types of PC cards into the filing system’s insertion slot. The filing system may be damaged.

The filing system’s PC card insertion slot can read and write PCMCIA ATA compatible type II flash memory cards with a power specification of 5V or 3.3/5V. By using a commercially available PC card adaptor, you can use Smart Media and other types of compact flash cards.

Notes on using the PC card

• Do not drop, bend, or submit the PC card to external shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify the PC card.

• Avoid getting liquids on the PC card.

• Avoid using or storing the PC card in a location

subject to:

– extremely high temperature such as the hot inside

of a car or outdoors exposed to a burning sun, or a place near a heater.

– direct sunlight – high humidity – corrosive substances – excessive dust – electrostatic or electronic noises – magnetic fields

• Avoid removing the PC card from the insertion slot

while the filing system is accessing the PC card. Otherwise, data may be rendered unreadable.

• When using a compact flash card or Smart Media, use a commercially available PC card adaptor that is compatible with the card. Attach the card to the adaptor and then insert it into the filing system. For instructions on how to install the card and adaptor, refer to the operating instructions of the PC card adaptor.

• Avoid inserting or removing the compact flash card or Smart Media into or out of the PC card adaptor while the PC card adaptor is inserted in the filing system. The data may be rendered unreadable or erased.

• For using a compact flash card or Smart Media, refer to the operating instructions of both the card and your digital still camera.
