1 BEFORE USE  
In addition, use a method of transportation that minimizes  
the vibration.  
Notes on handling internal hard disk  
drive components  
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD).  
Be sure to observe the following points carefully when  
operating, setting-up and servicing the unit.  
If the HDD becomes damaged, handle the unit and the  
damaged HDD that has been removed in order for it to be  
replaced carefully to prevent the problem from being  
aggravated until as the nature of the problem can be  
checked and analyzed.  
Do not subject the unit to shocks or vibration.  
If the unit is subjected to shocks or vibration, it may damage  
the HDD or cause corruption of the data stored in the HDD.  
z Do not move the unit while the power is turned on.  
Always be sure to turn off the power before removing  
the unit from or placing it onto the rack.  
z When transporting the unit, pack it securely using the  
specified packing materials. In addition, use a method  
of transportation that minimizes vibration.  
z When placing the unit down on a surface such as a  
floor, attach the specified feet to the base of the unit  
and place it down gently. If the feet are not attached,  
place the unit down very carefully so that it does not  
make any noise.  
Conditions to avoid  
z The hard disk is sensitive to dust, vibrations and  
shocks, and should also not be used near magnetic  
objects. To prevent loss of recorded data, observe the  
following precautions:  
z Do not subject the digital video recorder to shocks.  
z Do not use the digital video recorder on a vibrating or  
unstable surface.  
z Do not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet  
during recording or playback.  
z Do not use the digital video recorder in areas of  
extreme temperature changes (10ºC or more per hour).  
z Condensation may occur if the digital video recorder is  
moved to an area of extremely different temperature or  
high humidity. If the digital video recorder is used with  
condensation inside it, operating problems may occur.  
z Do not install the digital video recorder in areas of  
constant vibration such as motor vehicles or trains.  
Do not move the unit for 30 seconds after  
turning off the power.  
After the power is turned off, the disk inside the HDD will  
continue to spin for a brief period due to inertia, and the  
heads will be in an unstable state.  
During this time, the unit is even more susceptible to  
shocks and vibration than when power is being supplied.  
Make sure that the unit is not subjected to even gentle  
vibration for at least 30 seconds after turning off the power.  
The hard disk and cooling fan are  
expendable items.  
Under use in an ambient temperature of 25ºC, the hard  
disk should generally be replaced after 2 years, and the  
cooling fan after 3 years. These figures are intended as  
guidelines only, and are not guarantees of part  
performance.  
Do not operate the unit when condensation  
has formed.  
If the unit is operated when condensation has formed, it  
may cause operating problems.  
If sudden changes in the ambient temperature occur, wait  
for the temperature to stablize before operating the unit.  
The POWER indicator flashes if a problem occurs in the  
hard disk or fan. (JP. 10)  
Notes when replacing the HDD  
Be sure to follow the correct replacement procedure when  
replacing the HDD.  
Installation conditions  
The digital video recorder has ventilation holes on its left,  
rear and bottom panels. Make sure these holes are not  
blocked after installation.  
Do not use the unit in an area of poor ventilation such as a  
bookshelf or box.  
z HDDs that have been removed from their packing may  
not operate correctly if they are subjected to any shocks  
and vibration. It is recommended that you place HDD  
onto a soft, level surface with the printed circuit board  
facing upward after unpacking it.  
z Be careful not to subject the HDD to shocks or vibration  
when removing and tightening screws as part of the  
HDD replacement procedure. Make sure that all screws  
are tightened securely so that they will not become  
loose.  
When installing the unit in a rack, ensure a gap of at least  
5 cm at the top and bottom.  
For important recordings  
z Always make a test recording beforehand to check that  
the digital video recorder's playback is normal.  
z Note that no compensation will be provided for losses  
due to recording or playback problems arising from  
problems with the digital video recorder or its connected  
devices during operation.  
The HDD is sensitive to static electricity, so you should  
take proper precautions to prevent static electricity  
buildup.  
Handling the HDD unit by itself  
If transporting or storing the HDD unit by itself, always be  
sure to pack it in the specified packing first.

BEFORE USE  
z To be prepared for malfunctions or accidents, back up  
important recordings periodically, or record using  
mirroring.  
MENU button  
The [MENU] button is disabled when the unit is connected  
to a PC (VA-SW804/VA-SW80LITE). When the [MENU]  
button is operative, operations from the PC are disabled.  
Hard disk protection  
The hard disk is checked automatically at power ON. If a  
hard disk problem is found, the POWER indicator flashes.  
To initialize the disk or save images stored on the disk,  
contact a Sanyo service centre.  
Care  
z To clean the digital video recorder, unplug the power  
plug from the wall outlet and wipe the unit lightly with a  
soft cloth.  
z To remove heavy grime, wipe the digital video recorder  
with a well-wrung cloth soaked in a solution of water  
and neutral detergent, and then wipe it with a dry cloth.  
z Do not clean the unit with benzene or paint thinner.  
Doing so may break down the finish or strip the paint.  
z When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the  
precautions provided with it.  
z Do not spray insecticide or other volatile chemicals on  
the cabinet. Do not allow rubber or vinyl products to  
come into contact with the digital video recorder for  
extended periods.  
Doing so may break down the finish or strip the paint.  
During extended disuse  
Extended disuse may cause problems in functions, so turn  
the power on and operate the unit occasionally during  
such periods.  
Backup battery  
The digital video recorder comes with a built-in lithium  
battery. When the digital video recorder has been  
connected to a wall outlet for at least 48 hours and the  
date and time have been set, the clock function will  
continue to operate for up to 30 days after the power plug  
is disconnected.  
When disposing of the digital video recorder, contact a  
Sanyo service centre for information on how to dispose of  
the lithium battery.
