Technician Notes

WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Toshiba should attempt to repair this DVR unit. All

troubleshooting and repair procedures that may be shown are for reference and minor repair only. Because of the

complexity of the individual components and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the

component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.

And any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from the electrical outlet or

the computer.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance at the front

and back of the DVR unit.
