Notes on DualDiscs
• A DualDisc is a two sided disc product
which mates DVD recorded material
on one side with digital audio material
on the other side. However, since the
audio material side does not conform to
the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
playback on this product is not
guaranteed. And, some discs cannot be
inserted into the server.
• Do not use DualDiscs. The disc may be
damaged if inserted.

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. 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 75 F°
(10 °C)/hour).
• Do not move the unit with its AC
power cord connected.
• Do not disconnect the AC power cord
while the power is on.
• When disconnecting the AC power
cord, 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,
copying, or importing has stopped).
• Do not move the unit for one minute
after you have unplugged the AC
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.
