About HDD

HDD is a special device which has high recording density and is suited for long-time recording or high- speed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD disc to protect your precious videos.

HDD is a temporary storage location:

HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location until you watch the programmes once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc.

Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find abnormalities in HDD:

If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you notice any symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc. When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may be impossible.
