Maintenance of Cabinet

For safety reasons, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

•Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.

•Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive)

The hard disk has a high storage density, which enables long recording durations and quick access to written data. However, it can easily be damaged by shock, vibration or dust and should be kept away from magnets. To avoid losing important data, observe the following precautions.

•Do not use the HDD & DVD Recorder in a place subject to extreme changes in temperature.

•Do not apply a strong shock to the HDD & DVD Recorder.

•Do not place the HDD & DVD Recorder in a location subject to mechanical vibrations or in an unstable location.

•Do not place the HDD & DVD Recorder on top of a heat source.

•Do not disconnect the AC power cord while the power is on.

•Do not attempt to change the hard disk. This may result in a malfunction.

Should the hard disk be damaged, you cannot recover lost data. The hard disk is only a temporary storage space.

Disc Handling

•Use discs with regular shapes. If an irregular disc (a disc with a special shape) is

used, this HDD & DVD Recorder may be damaged.

Holding discs

• Avoid touching the surface of a disc where recording is performed.
