HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care

The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible to damage.

As a basic rule, save important video content to a DVD disc as backup.

∫The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand

vibration/shock or dust

Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. In the event of a power failure the content during recording or play may be damaged.

∫The HDD is a temporary storage device

The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for viewing once, editing, or for saving to a DVD disc.

∫Immediately save (backup) all content as soon

as you feel there may be problem with the HDD

If there is an irregularity within the HDD, strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, save all content to the DVD disc.

Recorded content (Data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

∫Setup precautions

≥Do not place in an enclosed area so the rear cooling fan and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.

≥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 video cassette recorder etc.

≥Do not place in an area often subject to

VCR

 

 

temperature changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

≥Place in an area where condensation does not occur.

 

Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a

 

cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature.

 

Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.

started

≥Conditions where condensation may occur

 

 

–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from

a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when

Getting

subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly

impacts the unit.) When the HDD (warms during operation) is

subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of

the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD heads etc.

 

–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.

 

–During the rainy season.

 

 

 

≥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.

∫Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or

breakdown

The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor etc. gets inside the unit.

∫While operating

≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD may become damaged.)

≥Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket, or flip the power breaker switch.

While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or movement due to rotation is normal.

∫When moving the unit

1Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the

display.)

2Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx. 2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for a short time.)

∫HDD recording time remaining

This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.

If the remaining amount time is insufficient, erase any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Erasing a play list will not increase the amount of time.)

∫When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears in the

display

The HDD has automatically gone into SLEEP mode in order to extend the life of the HDD.

≥Press [HDD] to activate.

≥While in SLEEP mode play or recording may not begin right away because the HDD takes time to be re-activated.

≥If there is no disc in the unit, the HDD will go into SLEEP mode after there has been no operation for 30 minutes or longer. When not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc.

∫ Indemnity concerning recorded content

Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages

 

directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss

 

of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any

 

content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise,

 

the above also applies in the case any type of repair is made to

RQT7462

the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
