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.

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 must not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

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

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 centre 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.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive) handling care

The hard disk drive (HDD) has a high storage density that enables long recording duration and high speed data access. Depending on the setup environment and handling, some content may be damaged resulting in failure of playback and recording. To avoid damage to the HDD and losing important data, observe following precautions:

Do not move the recorder or subject it to vibration.

Do not remove the AC power plug from the mains socket without switching the recorder to standby mode.

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.
