Precautions
Usage and storage
• Only use the specified power cord.
• Never short-circuit any of the
connectors with a metallic object such
as a keyholder.
• Do not leave the unit in locations where
the temperature may rise above 60°C
(140°F), such as in direct sunlight.
• Protect the unit from water and
moisture.
• Use the unit on a flat level surface.
• Do not install this equipment in a
confined space such as a bookshelf or
similar unit.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
• Turn off the unit before carrying it.
• Do not touch the memory card while
data is being read/written.
• Do not place any objects on the unit.
• Do not place the remote control on the
floor, etc., as buttons may be pressed by
mistake.
• Do not place the unit upright.
• Watch the screen in a bright room.
Overheating
If the unit has become hotter than normal
during operation, turn off the unit,
disconnect the power cord, and then
contact a service center.
Condensation
If the unit is brought from a cold to a warm
location, or if the ambient temperature
suddenly rises, moisture may form on the
outer surface and on the interior of the
unit. Do not use the unit in such a
condition, as damage may occur. If
condensation has occurred, leave the unit
for about an hour before turning it on.
Hard disk
The hard disk has a high storage density,
and holds vast amount of images.
However, it can easily be damaged by
shock, vibration or dust, and should be
kept away from magnets. To avoid losing
important data, observe the following
precautions.
• Do not apply a strong shock to the unit.
• Do not place the unit in a location
subject to mechanical vibrations or in an
unstable location.
• Do not place the unit on top of a hot
surface, such as a VCR or amplifier
(receiver).
• Do not use the unit in a place subject to
extreme changes in temperature
(temperature gradient less than 10°C/
hour).
• Do not move the unit with its power
cord connected.
• Do not disconnect the power cord while
the power is on.
• Do not move the unit for one minute
after you have unplugged the power
cord.
• Do not attempt to replace or upgrade the
hard disk by yourself, as this may result
in malfunction.
If the hard disk drive should malfunction,
you cannot recover lost data. The hard
disk drive is only a temporary storage
space.
It is highly recommended to regularly
back up the contents of the hard disk.
Sony Corporation does not accept any
liability for damage caused by data loss.
