MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder
when you move it from a cold place to a warm
place, or under extremely humid conditions—just
as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled
with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the
head drum will cause damage to the tape. In
conditions where condensation may occur, keep
the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.
ATTENTION:
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the
recorder may cause picture vibration on the TV
screen or change the screen to a blue back
display.
On placing the recorder:
Some TVs or other appliances generates strong
magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on
top of the recorder as it may cause picture
disturbance.
PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive
1. Before installing the recorder
This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive,
which is a device to read minute magnetic
changes.
The inside of the device is precision-built,
which, when installing the recorder, requires
you to note the following:
●
DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to
vibration or dust.
●
DO NOT place the recorder where difference in
temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or
where humidity is high.
– When condensation occurs
Water droplets form on the hard disc or head
drums inside, possibly causing hard disc and
heads to be damaged.
– About condensation
When well-cooled beer is poured into a glass,
water droplets often form around its outside.
This phenomenon is called condensation.
●
DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling
fans in its back may be blocked, or where the
recorder may be closed in.
●
DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.
NOTES:
●
When you connect the recorder’s power plug to the mains
outlet, the HDD starts its setup and it continues for a while.
Press
1
on the recorder to use it after the HDD completes
its setup.
●
The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a
malfunction.
2. Before using the recorder
When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc
is constantly rotating at high speed.
This requires you to note the following:
●
DO NOT impart vibration or shock.
If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded
damaged but also the hard disk itself can be
damaged.
●
DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism
or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell
phones, etc.) near the recorder.
●
DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall
outlet when the power of the recorder is on.
If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is
in operation, it can be damaged or the data stored
on it may be damaged. Be sure to push the power
button before turning off the power.
3. While using the recorder
When viewing a program by selecting HDD
(Hard Disk Drive), there occurs a slight time lag
relative to the actual program being broadcast.
This is because pictures received are once
stored on the hard disk, and then played back.
The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn
the power on with the hard disk already
selected, it will take about 30 seconds before
the pictures received appear on the screen. Up
until then, any operation is disabled. But it is not
a malfunction.
