About the hard disk drive
The hard disk has a high storage
density, which enables long recording
durations and quick access to the
written data. However, it can easily be
damaged by shock, vibration or dust,
and should be kept away from magnets.
If the hard disk drive should
malfunction, you cannot recover lost
data. To avoid losing important data,
observe the following precautions.
• Do not apply a strong shock to the
recorder.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location subject to mechanical
vibrations or in an unstable location.
• Do not place the recorder on top of a
hot surface, such as a VCR or
amplifier (receiver).
• Do not use the recorder in a place
subject to extreme changes in
temperature (temperature gradient
less than 10 °C/hour).
• Do not move the recorder with its
mains lead connected.
• Do not disconnect the mains lead
while the power is on.
• When disconnecting the mains lead,
turn off the power and make sure that
the hard disk drive is not operating
(the clock is displayed in the front
panel display and all recording or
playback has stopped).
• Do not move the recorder for one
minute after you have unplugged the
mains lead.
• Do not attempt to replace or upgrade
the hard disk by yourself, as this may
result in malfunction.
About repairing the hard
disk drive
• The contents of the hard disk drive
may be checked in case of repair or
inspection during a malfunction or
modification. However, the contents
will not be backed up or saved by
Sony.
• If the hard disk needs to be formatted
or replaced, it will be done at the
discretion of Sony. All contents of
the hard disk drive will be erased,
including contents that violate
copyright laws.
On power sources
• The recorder is not disconnected
from the AC power source (mains) as
long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the recorder itself has
been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the
recorder for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the recorder from the wall
outlet. To disconnect the AC power
cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• Before disconnecting the AC power
cord (mains lead), check that the
recorder's hard disk is not operating
(recording or playback) on the front
panel display.
On placement
• Place the recorder in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the recorder.
• Do not place the recorder on a soft
surface such as a rug that might block
the ventilation holes.
• Do not place the recorder in a
confined space such as a bookshelf or
similar unit.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place the recorder in an
inclined position. It is designed to be
operated in a horizontal position
only.
• Keep the recorder away from
equipment with strong magnets, such
as microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
recorder.
• Install this recorder so that the AC
power cord can be unplugged from
the wall socket immediately in the
event of trouble.
