Getting started

The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its

long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very

special device that is easily susceptible to damage.

As a basic rule, save important video content to a DVD disc as

backup.

∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand

vibration/shock or dust

Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some

content may become damaged and play and recording may no

longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the

unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the

household mains socket. In the event of a power failure the content

during recording or play may be damaged.

∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device

The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content.

Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for viewing once, editing,

or for saving to a DVD disc.

∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon

as you feel there may be problem with the HDD

If there is an irregularity within the HDD, strange sounds or problems

with picture (block noise etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this

condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD

may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this type of

problem, save all content to the DVD disc.

Recorded content (Data) on a HDD that has become unusable is

unrecoverable.

∫ HDD recording time remaining

This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) 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 amount time is insufficient, erase any unwanted

titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Erasing a

play list will not increase the amount of time.)

∫ When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears in the

display

The HDD has automatically gone into SLEEP mode in order to

extend the life of the HDD. (While power is supplied, the HDD rotates

at high speed. If there is no disc in the unit, the HDD will go into

SLEEP mode after there has been no operation for 30 minutes or

longer.)

≥Press [HDD] to activate.

≥While in SLEEP mode play or recording may not begin right away

because the HDD takes time to be re-activated.

≥When not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc in the

tray in order to set the HDD to the SLEEP mode.

HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care

∫ Setup precautions

≥Do not place in an enclosed area so 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.

≥Do not place on anything that

generates heat like a video cassette

recorder etc.

≥Do not place in an area often subject to

temperature changes.

≥Place in an area where condensation

does not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture

forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in

temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the

unit.

≥Conditions where condensation may occur

–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from

a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when

subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly

impacts the unit.) When the HDD (warms during operation) is

subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of the

HDD and may cause damage to the HDD heads etc.

–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.

–During the rainy season.

≥In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit

adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until

condensation is gone.

∫ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or

breakdown

The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor

etc. gets inside the unit.

∫ While operating

≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The

HDD may become damaged.)

≥Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains

socket, or flip the power breaker switch.

While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or

movement due to rotation is normal.

∫ When moving the unit

1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the

display.)

2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx.

2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock.

(Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating

for a short time.)

∫ Indemnity concerning recorded content

Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or

edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in

the case any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
