Notes

•Use the button on the front panel or the remote control to open and close the disc tray. Do not push or hold the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the recorder to malfunction.

•Do not insert a disc which is unplayable, or any object other than a playable disc.

•Do not apply downforce to the disc tray. Doing so may cause the recorder to malfunction.

Turning the power off

Press the ON/STANDBY button on the front panel of the recorder or the power button on the remote control.

The “Unloading” icon appears at the top right corner of the screen, and the ON/STANDBY indicator turns red, then the power turns off.

Caution

•If the power fails or the power cord is disconnected from a wall outlet while the recorder is in operation (ON/STANDBY indicator lit in green), the HDD or a DVD-RAM disc may become recording disabled on. In such a case, executing an initialization of the disc using the formatting function of the recorder may refresh them. However, all contents stored on the disc will be completely erased by this initialization process.

•This recorder may indicate alert messages with some discs right after insertion. If such a disc is used for playback or recording on other equipment, all data in the disc may be damaged and the disc will not be played.

By executing an initialization of the disc using the formatting function of the recorder, the disc will be able to work.

•If the recorder freezes and does not respond at all, leave it alone for about 15 minutes or longer. This may restore the recorder. After the recorder has recovered, turn it off once and turn it on again to use as usual. If the recorder is still inoperable after more than 15 minutes have passed, press and hold the ON/STANDBY button on the front panel for about 10 seconds or longer. The recorder is forced to quit and the power turns off. Turn the recorder on again and use

it as usual. (This 15-minute measure is available only when “Screen Protector” is set to “On.” ( page 125)) Important: This is an emergency measure, which may cause losses and/or damages of data. Avoid casual use of this measure. If you try this while the recorder is working properly, especially while the “Loading” or “Unloading” icon is flashing, it may result in initializing of the HDD.

Note

•If there are any performance malfunctions of the HDD or the DVD-RAM drive, immediately discontinue use of this recorder, and disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet, then contact your dealer. Continuous use of the recorder in such a condition will aggravate the condition and result in increased cost and cord repair time.
