Notes
•Use the button on the front panel or the remote control to
open and close the disc tray. Do not push or hold the disc
tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the recorder to
malfunction.
•Do not insert a disc which is unplayable, or any object
other than a playable disc.
•Do not apply downforce to the disc tray. Doing so may
cause the recorder to malfunction.
•If the disc tray stops before it is completely closed, it
automatically comes out again with the protection function.
Do not force to close the tray when it stops, or it may be
damaged.
Turning the power off
Press the ON/STANDBY button on the front panel of
the recorder or the power button on the remote
control.
The “Unloading” icon appears at the top right corner of
the screen, and the ON/STANDBY indicator turns red,
then the power is turned off.
Caution
•If the power fails or the power cord is disconnected from a
wall outlet while the recorder is in operation (ON/STANDBY
indicator lit in green), the HDD or a DVD-RAM disc may
become recording disabled. In such a case, executing an
initialization of the disc using the formatting function of the
recorder may refresh it. However, all contents stored on
the disc will be completely erased by this initialization
process.
•This recorder may indicate alert messages with some
DVD-RAM discs right after insertion. If such a disc is used
for playback or recording on other equipment, all data in
the disc may be damaged and the disc will not be played.
By executing an initialization of the disc using the
formatting function of the recorder, the disc will be able to
work.
•If the recorder freezes and does not respond at all, leave it
alone for about 15 minutes or longer. This may restore the
recorder. After the recorder has recovered, turn it off once
and turn it on again to use as usual. (This 15-minute
measure is available only when “Screen Protector” is set to
“On.” ( page 140)) If the recorder is still inoperable after
more than 15 minutes have passed, press and hold the
ON/STANDBY button on the front panel for about 10
seconds or longer. The recorder is forced to quit and the
power turns off. Turn the recorder on again and use it as
usual.
Important: This is an emergency measure, which may
cause losses and/or damages of data. Avoid casual use of
this measure. If you try this while the recorder is working
properly, especially while the “Loading” or “Unloading” icon
is flashing, it may result in initializing of the HDD.
Notes
•If there are any performance malfunctions of the HDD or
the DVD-RAM drive, immediately discontinue use of this
recorder, and disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet,
then contact your dealer. Continuous use of the recorder in
such a condition will aggravate the condition and result in
increased cost and repair time.
•Titles of DVD-RAM or DVD-R discs that are recorded with
another manufacturer’s recorder may not correctly be
indicated. And you may not be able to add or change title,
or execute library recording.
