About the hard disk drive

The hard disk has a high storage density, which enables long recording durations and quick access to the 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 apply a strong shock to the recorder.

•Do not place the recorder in a location subject to mechanical vibrations or in an unstable location.

•Do not place the recorder on top of a hot surface, such as a VCR or amplifier (receiver).

•Do not use the recorder in a place subject to extreme changes in temperature (temperature gradient less than 10 °C/hour).

•Do not move the recorder with its mains lead connected.

•Do not disconnect the mains lead while the power is on.

•When disconnecting the mains lead, turn off the power and make sure that the hard disk drive is not operating (the clock is displayed in the front panel display and all recording or dubbing has stopped).

•Do not move the recorder for one minute after you have unplugged the mains lead.

•Do not attempt to replace or upgrade the hard disk by yourself, as this may result in malfunction.

If the hard disk drive should malfunction, you cannot recover lost data. The hard disk drive is only a temporary storage space.
