Unit care

• If the HDD or USB HDD is damaged, the 

recorded content cannot be recovered.

• The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke 

or bug spray/vapour, etc. gets inside the 

unit.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is 

empty.

1 Switch the unit to standby mode. (Wait until 

“Goodbye” 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. 3 minutes) in order to 

avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even 

after the unit is switched to standby mode, the 

HDD continues operating for a short time.)

The registration of the USB HDD may be 

cancelled in the process of repairing this unit.

You can use the USB HDD again by 

re-registering, but all recorded content already on 

the USB HDD will be lost. In such cases, the 

recorded content (data) cannot be recovered.

This unit may contain private information. Before 

disposing of or transferring this unit, perform the 

following to delete the data, including personal or 

secret information:

- Format HDD (> 87, 95)

- Perform “Shipping Condition” (> 87, 103)

HDD/USB HDD handling care

• The HDD is a high precision device

The HDD is a high precision recording 

instrument and is easily susceptible to damage. 

Therefore, be careful of the following points 

while the unit is turned on, especially during 

operation, otherwise the HDD and the recorded 

content may be damaged:

- Do not subject the unit to any vibration and 

shock.

- Do not remove the AC mains lead from the 

household mains socket.

• The HDD is a temporary storage device

• The HDD is not an everlasting storage device. 

It is recommended to save the recorded 

content on a disc or to keep the original data or 

CDs that they were copied from.

• If you notice a problem with the HDD such as 

repetitive strange sounds, immediately save 

(backup) all content and request service. If you 

continue using the HDD with a problem, the 

unit or the recorded content will be damaged.

Setup precautions

• Place the unit on a surface that is flat and 

not subject to vibration or impact.

• Do not place on anything that generates heat 

like a Set Top Box, etc.

• Place in an area where condensation does 

not occur. Conditions where condensation 

may occur

- When there is an extreme change in 

temperature (e.g., when subjected to an air 

conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts 

the unit).

- When there is high humidity or a lot of steam 

in the room.

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.
