Do not place the Recorder in a cramped location which might block the ventilation port on the back of the Recorder.

Do not place the Recorder in a location with severe temperature variation.

If the Recorder is set up in a location with severe temperature variation, dew may form on and inside the Recorder. If the Recorder is used with internal dew formation present, this may cause HDD damage or malfunction. We recommend keeping variation in room temperature within 10˚C per hour.

Do not place the Recorder in a location with high humidity.

Place the Recorder horizontally, never at an incline.

Do not place a magnetic device (magnet etc.) close to the recorder.

When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, turn off the breaker for the area where the Recorder is set up, or move the Recorder.

When moving the Recorder, first turn off the power and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Recording Format

HDD recording is done using the variable bit rate format (VBR) for more efficient recording. The following phenomena may occur.

With the variable bit rate format, the remaining amount which can be recorded may increase or decrease relative to the display of the remaining amount of HDD space.

When the display indicates that the remaining amount of HDD space is low, first delete unnecessary programmes, and then record with an extra margin in the amount of remaining space. There is an option in the configuration menu to discard the recordings. You can choose between three options:

Deleting,

1 – Oldest recordings

2 – Largest recordings

3 – Smallest recordings

When the HDD is out of space, it will operate regarding one of these options and delete the

recordings.

Even if you delete a programme, the remaining amount may not increase by the amount of deleted time. When recording new video, record with an extra margin in the amount of remaining space.

Unrecordable Material

In the unlikely event that there is some problem like loss of recorded video or audio content due to an HDD malfunction, please be aware beforehand that we will bear no responsibility to compensate for the content which could not be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or edited video, or for other related direct or indirect damages.

-If a power failure occurs

The content being recorded or timer recorded may be damaged if power failure occurs.

The content being played back may be damaged.

-For important recording

If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the HDD may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we recommend copying or moving the content to Video or DVD.

NOTE

If a message indicating an HDD error is displayed (such as “ERROR IN HDD. CANNOT OPERATE.”) and the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD by yourself. If you disassemble the Recorder, the warranty will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto a Video or DVD, and contact the approved service centre with the details provided at the front and back of this operation manual.

Hard Disk Operation (Recording / Playback / Time Shift Recording)

If the Recorder is used in a cold location (a location at low temperature), the drive will only allow live viewing after power is turned on until the HDD is ready. During this time, the Recorder will not allow Time Shift Viewing, recording, display of recording lists or playback of recorded programmes. Please wait until the HDD is ready.
