About the internal hard disk
drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile
piece of equipment. Depending on the
conditions under which it is used, or through
careless use, it is possible that the recorded
12
En
contents will be damaged or lost completely,
or that normal playback and recording will
not be possible. Please understand that in
the event of repair or replacement of the
HDD or related components, all your HDD
recordings will be lost.
Please use the recorder following the
guidelines below to protect against possible
HDD failure.
The HDD should not be regarded as a place to
store recordings permanently. We
recommend that you back up your important
recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect
against accidental loss.
Pioneer cannot under any circumstances
accept responsibility for any direct or indirect
loss arising from any inconvenience or loss of
recorded material resulting from HDD failure.
• Install and use the recorder on a stable,
level surface.
• Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
• Do not use the recorder in excessively
hot or humid places, or in places that
may be subject to sudden changes in
temperature. Sudden changes in
temperature can cause condensation to
form inside the recorder. This can be a
cause of HDD failure.
• Do not move the recorder immediately
after switching it off. If you need to move
the recorder, please follow the steps
below:
1 After the message POWER OFF is
shown in the display, wait at least two
minutes.
2 Unplug from the wall socket.
3 Move the recorder.
• If there's a power failure while the
recorder is on there is a chance that
some data on the HDD will be lost.
