Care and Safety Information

English

CAUTION!

High voltage! Do not open the device. You run the risk of getting an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

–Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.

–Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier.)

–Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.)

–Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions.) To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for discs.

Space for ventilation

–Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

–Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

–Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles.)

HDD (Hard Disk Drive) handling care

The HDD is a fragile piece of device that is easily prone to damage due to its long recording capacity and high speed operation.

–Do not move the unit while it is turned on.

–Do not remove the AC power plug from the power outlet during operation.

–Do not use the unit in excessively hot or humid places. It may cause condensation to form inside the unit.

If the HDD fails, playback and recording will not be possible. In this case, it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

WARNING!

The HDD is not a device for storing recorded content permanently. We recommend that you copy the important video content to a recordable DVD as backup.
