About the internal hard disk
drive
The internal hard disk drive
(HDD)
is a
fragile piece
of
equipment.
Please use the recorder
following
the
guidelines
below to
protect against possible
HDD
failure.
We recommend that
you
back
up your important
recordings
onto DVD discs in order to
protect against
accidental loss.
Do not move the recorder while it is on.
Install and use the recorder on a
stable,
level
surface.
Do not block the rear
vent/cooling
fan.
Do not use the recorder in
excessively
hot or humid
places,
or in
places
that
may
be
subject
to sudden
changes
in
temperature.
Sudden
changes
in
temperature
can cause condensation to form inside
the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
While the recorder is switched
on,
do not
unplug
from the wall socket or switch the
electricity
off from
the breaker switch.
Do not move the recorder
immediately
after
switching
it off. If
you
need to move the
recorder,
please
follow the
steps
below:
1. After the
message
POWER OFF is shown in the
display,
wait at least two minutes.
2.
Unplug
from the wall socket.
3. Move the recorder.
If there's a
power
failure while the recorder is on
there is a chance that some data on the HDD will
be lost.
The HDD is
very
delicate. If used
improperly
or in
an unsuitable
environment,
it is
possible
that the
HDD will fail after a few
years
of use.
Signs
of
problems
include
playback unexpectedly freezing
and noticeable block noise
(mosaic)
in the
picture.
However,
sometimes there will be no
warning signs
of HDD failure.
If the HDD
fails,
no
playback
of recorded material
will be
possible.
In this case it will be
necessary
to
replace
the HDD unit.
