About HDD (Internal HDD)
HDD is a special device which has high Recording density and
is suited for long-Time Recording or high-speed cueing but by
contrast it has many factors which can cause breakage. Use
HDD on the assumption that you should Dub the Recorded
Programs to an External HDD or DVD to protect your
precious Videos.
HDD is a Temporary Storage Device:
HDD is a Temporary Storage Device:
HDD is not a permanent storage device of the Recorded
contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage device until
you watch the Programs once, edit them or Dub them to a
DVD.
Be sure to Dub (back up) Data Promptly if you
find Abnormalities in the HDD:
find Abnormalities in the HDD:
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other
sounds may be heard or block noise may appear on the image.
If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may continue and
eventually the HDD may not be usable at all. If you notice these
symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly Dub the Data to a DVD
or External HDD. When an HDD fails, recovery of Recorded
content (Data) may be impossible.
About the Remaining Capacity of HDD Recording Time:
About the Remaining Capacity of HDD Recording Time:
The On-screen indication of the possible Recording Time left
on HDD / External HDD / DVD may differ from the actual
Recordable Time as this unit employs the variable bit rate
encoding system which varies the Recording (storage) amount
of Data in conformity with the amount of information on the
Video.
Before Recording to the HDD, ensure there is Sufficient Space
on the HDD by Deleting unnecessary Titles in advance.
About External HDD
The Registered External HDD can be used in the same manner
as the internal HDD.
• Recording / editing on write protected External HDD is
not possible.
