About the internal hard disk drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. When used without the proper care or in the wrong conditions, it is possible that recorded contents may be damaged or lost entirely, in some cases making even normal playback or recording impossible. Please understand that in the event of repair or replacement of the HDD or related components, all your HDD recordings will be lost.
Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure.
The HDD should not be regarded as a place to store recordings permanently. We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect against accidental loss.
Pioneer cannot under any circumstances accept responsibility for any direct or indirect loss arising from any inconvenience or loss of recorded material resulting from HDD failure.
•Do not move the recorder while it is on (this includes during EPG download when the display shows EPG).
•Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.
•Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
•Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
•While the recorder is switched on (including during EPG download when the display shows EPG), do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch.
•Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below:
1 After the message POWER OFF is shown on the front panel display, wait at least two minutes.
2 Unplug from the wall socket.
3 Move the recorder.
•If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.
•The HDD is very delicate. If used over time in an improper manner or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure. If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.
