Panasonic DMR-E80H HDD Hard disk drive, During setup, While operating, Event of a power failure

HDD (Hard disk drive)

Follow the precautions indicated below to prevent damage to the internal HDD. (Not following precautions may result in a loss of recording, stop of operation or recording of noise.)

∫During setup:

≥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.

≥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. Con- densation may cause internal damage to the unit.

Conditions where condensation may occur

–During the rainy season in tropical and sub tropical areas. –When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room. –When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from a very hot location to a very cold location, or when an extreme change in air conditioning or cooled air directly

impacts the unit.)

➜In the above situation, with the power off, let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2-3 hours until condensation is gone.

∫While operating

≥Do not remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet, or flip the power breaker switch.

≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact.

➜When moving the unit:

1Turn the power switch off (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display)

2Remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet

3 Wait 2 minutes before moving

While the unit is on, the HDD will be spinning at high speed and it is normal to hear sounds. These sounds are not problems.

∫In the event of a power failure

If a power failure occurs, contents in the process of playback/record- ing may be damaged.

∫Safeguards against accidental loss

Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contents you wish to keep permanently should be dubbed to DVD-RAM or DVD-R.

HDD recording time remaining

This units records using a VBR (Variable bit recording) data com- pression 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 programs to create enough space before you start recording. (Eras- ing a playlist will not increase the amount of time.)
