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: 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.
