Important information
Hard disk (HDD)
This TV set records programmes onto a hard disk
drive (HDD). The hard disk is equipped with a safety
mechanism to protect data from impact, vibration and
dust. However, to prevent loss of recorded data, you
should be particularly careful of the following points:
• Do not subject the TV set to any impact.
• Do not use in a location which is unstable or subject to
vibration.
• Do not move the TV set while the power is on.
• Do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet during
recording or playback. First turn power “OFF” (the
STANDBY indicator glows red), and then unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet.
• Do not use in a location with abrupt temperature variation
(variation of more than 10°C per hour).
• The TV set will malfunction if used in a cold location (5°C or
less) or an extremely hot location (35°C or higher).
• If you carry the TV set from a cold location to a warm
location, let the TV set sit for a while before using it.
• In the unlikely event that the hard disk (HDD) malfunctions
for some reason, you cannot replace it by yourself. If you
disassemble the TV set you will void the warranty. Please
contact the nearest service centre approved by SHARP.
We cannot provide compensation for data content if data is
lost or not recorded.
This TV set has a built-in hard disk drive
(abbreviated as “HDD”) for recording and playback.
Beware of the following points when setting up
and using the TV set. Failure to observe these
precautions may cause damage to the HDD itself
or its content, failure of the disk to operate, or
recording of noise.
• Do not subject the TV set to any vibration or impact.
• Do not place the TV set in a cramped location which might
block the cooling fan or ventilation port on the back of the
TV set.
• Do not place the TV set in a location with severe
temperature variation.
If the TV set is set up in a location with severe temperature
variation, dew may form on and inside the TV set. If the
TV set is used with internal dew formation present, this
may cause HDD damage or malfunction. We recommend
keeping variation in room temperature within 10˚C per hour.
• Do not place the TV set in a location with high humidity.
• Place the TV set horizontally, never at an incline.
• When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet, do not turn off the breaker for the area where
the TV set is set up, and do not move the TV set.
When moving the TV set, first turn off the power (the
STANDBY indicator glows red) and then unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet.
Unrecordable material
• The only signals that can be recorded are those from the
internal analog & digital tuners and external CVBS & Y/C
signals.
• When recording a signal other than the signal being
watched, some signals cannot be recorded depending on
the signal being viewed.
• This TV set is equipped with a copy guard function that
prevents the recording of broadcast programmes that
contain a signal that restricts copying in accordance with
copyrights and so forth.
• If a copy guard signal is contained in a source video that
occurs partway through recording, recording is paused at
that point. Recording resumes when the copy guard signal
is no longer present, while no recordings will be made for
the part where the copy prevention signal is present.
In the unlikely event that there is a problem such
as the loss of recorded video or audio content
due to an HDD malfunction, please be aware
beforehand that SHARP will bear no responsibility
to compensate for the content which could not
be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or
edited video, or for other related direct or indirect
damages.
If a power failure occurs
• The content being recorded or timer recorded may be
damaged if a power failure occurs.
• The content being played back may be damaged.
For important recording
• If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the HDD
may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we
recommend copying or moving the content to DVD-RW or
DVD-R.
NOTE
• If a message indicating an HDD error is displayed and
the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD
by yourself. If you disassemble the TV set, the warranty
will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If
playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto
a DVD-RW/R disc, and contact your nearest service centre
approved by SHARP.
