JVC XV-DDV1SL manual Moisture condensation, Precautions for the HDD, Do not block the cooling fan

3

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the discs, the built-in hard disc drive (HDD), and the remote control.

1.DO NOT place the equipment...

•in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity. (Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold between 5˚C and 35˚C.)

•in direct sunlight.

•in a dusty environment.

•in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.

•on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2.DO NOT block the cooling fan.

If the cooling fan is blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the internal heat buildup may cause fire.

•The cooling fan starts rotating when the internal heat builds up (and may keep rotating until the safe inside temperature is obtained even after you turn off the power).

3.DO NOT place heavy objects on the equipment.

4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on the equipment.

If water or liquid is allowed to enter the equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.

5.DO NOT expose the equipment to dripping or splashing.

6.DO NOT use the equipment in a bathroom or a wet place.

7.DO NOT place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on the equipment.

8.DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the equipment.

9.DO NOT impart violent shock to the equipment during transport.

Moisture condensation

Moisture in the air will condense inside the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the unit turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

Notes on the power cord

•When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A certain amount of power (15 W) is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

•When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands

Precautions for the HDD

1.Before using the unit:

When the power is on, the HDD is constantly rotating at a high speed.

This requires you to note the following:

•DO NOT impart vibration or shock.

If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded damaged but also the HDD itself is damaged.

•DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cellular phones, etc.) near the unit.

•DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet when the power is on.

If the power supply is cut off while the HDD is in operation, it can be damaged or the stored

data may be damaged. Be sure to press the (STANDBY/ON) button to turn off the power.

2.While using the unit:

•When viewing a TV program through the built- in tuner, you might notice a slight time lag compared to the actual program being broadcast. This happens because pictures received are once stored in the HDD, and then played back. The time lag is approximately 3 seconds.

•If you turn the power on with the HDD already selected, it will take about 20 seconds before the received pictures appear on the TV. During this period, no operation is accepted.

•The HDD may produce mechanical noise while power is on, but it is not a malfunction.
