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 content to a 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 during recording or play, the content 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 one-off viewing, editing, or saving recorded content to a disc.

∫Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD

If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive 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 be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

≥When the HDD has been automatically entered power save mode (➡ below), or the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with this unit.

∫Setup precautions

≥Do not place in an enclosed area where 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 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.

≥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 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.)

Important notes for recording/HDD (Hard

∫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 of time is insufficient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Deleting a playlist will not increase the amount of time.)

∫The HDD automatically enters power save mode

The HDD has been automatically entered power save mode. (The HDD continues to rotate at high speed while the unit is on. In order to extend the life of the HDD, the HDD will be entered power save mode if no operation has been performed for 30 minutes while there is no disc on the disc tray.)

≥While in power save mode play or recording may not start right away because the HDD takes time to be re-activated. ≥When not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc in the tray in order to set the HDD to the power save mode.

∫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 a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
