≥When playing back a programme recorded on the HDD, ensure 

that you match the “TV System” setting to the encoding system

ªDuring setup

≥Do not place in an enclosed area so that the rear cooling fan and 

the cooling vents on the side are covered up.

≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration 

or impact.

≥Place in an area where condensation does not occur.

#In the above situation, with the power off, let the unit adjust to 

the room temperature and wait 2-3 hours until condensation is 
gone.

ªWhile operating

≥Do not remove the AC mains plug from the household AC outlet, 

or flip the power breaker switch.

≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact.
#When moving the unit:
1 Press [DVD, 

Í] to switch the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” 

disappears from the display.)

2 Remove the AC mains plug from the household AC outlet.
3 Wait 2 minutes before moving.
While the unit is on, the HDD will be spinning at high speed and it 
is normal to hear sounds. These sounds are not problems.

ªIn the event of a power failure

If a power failure occurs, contents in the process of playback/
recording (including contents in SD VIDEO (MPEG4)) may be 
damaged.

ªSafeguards against accidental loss

Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contents you 
wish to keep permanently should be dubbed or moved to 
DVD-RAM or DVD-R.

ªWhen “HDD SLEEP” appears on the unit’s display

To keep the lifetime of HDD, HDD is automatically paused. (The 
[HDD] lamp blinks and then turns off.)
≥HDD starts when pressing [HDD].
≥You cannot record or play back on HDD soon after it is paused 

because it takes time to be started.

≥If you do not operate this unit without a disc for 30 minutes or 

more, HDD is paused.
We recommend removing discs when you do not use this unit.

This units records using a VBR (Variable bit recording) data 
compression system to vary recorded data segments to match 
video data segments which may cause differences in the displayed 
amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining time is insufficient, erase any unwanted 
programmes to create enough space before you start recording. 
(Erasing a play list will not increase the amount of time.)
