Self-diagnosis Function
(When letters/numbers
appear in the display)
When the self-diagnosis function is activated
to prevent the recorder from malfunctioning,
a five-character service number (e.g., C 13
00) with a combination of a letter and four
numbers appears in the front panel display. In
this case, check the following table.
Notes About This
Recorder
On operation
• If the recorder is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may condense
on the lenses inside the recorder. Should
this occur, the recorder may not operate
properly. In this case, if the recorder is on,
leave it on (if it is off, leave it off) for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the recorder, take out any
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to
a section with very low level inputs or no
audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be
damaged when a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
About repairing the hard disk drive
• It may be necessary to access data stored on
the hard disk for testing purposes; there is
no intention to copy or store the data, titles
or any other information.
• If replacement or initialization (format) is
required, the hard disk will be formatted at
our discretion. In this case, please note that
all of the contents recorded there will be
erased (including any data found to violate
copyright law).
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners
Do not use a commercially available
cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or
spray type). These may cause the recorder
to malfunction.
