BEFORE USE  
„ Notes when replacing the HDD  
Notes on handling internal hard disk  
drive components  
Be sure to follow the correct replacement procedure when  
replacing the HDD.  
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.  
This unit uses an internal hard disk drive (HDD).  
Be sure to observe the following points carefully when  
operating, setting-up and servicing the unit.  
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. The HDD is sensitive to static electricity, so you  
should take proper precautions to prevent static  
electricity buildup.  
Conditions to avoid  
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.  
„ Handling the HDD unit by itself  
z Do not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet  
during recording or playback.  
If transporting or storing the HDD unit by itself, always be  
sure to pack it in the packing first. In addition, use a method  
of transportation that minimizes the vibration.  
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.  
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 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.  
z Do not install the digital video recorder in areas of  
constant vibration such as motor vehicles or trains.  
z The digital video recorder has ventilation holes. Make  
sure these holes are not blocked after installation.  
z Do not use the digital video recorder in areas with poor  
ventilation, such as a bookshelf or box.  
z The digital video recorder is designed to be placed  
horizontally. Do not place it in an upright position.  
z When installing the digital video recorder in a rack,  
ensure a gap of at least 5 cm at the top and bottom.  
z When placing the unit down on a surface such as a floor,  
attach the feet to the base of the unit and place it down  
gently. If the feet are not attached, place the unit down  
very carefully.  
The hard disk and cooling fan are  
consumable 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.  
The POWER indicator flashes if a problem occurs in the  
hard disk or fan. (ꢀP.11)  
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.  
z To be prepared for malfunctions or accidents, back up  
important recordings periodically, or record using  
mirroring.  
„ Do not move the unit for 30 seconds after  
disconnecting the power.  
After the power is disconnected, 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 disconnecting the power.  
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 center.  
„ Notes on transporting  
When transporting the unit, pack it securely using the  
packing materials. In addition, use a method of  
transportation that minimizes vibration.

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  
When installing  
Check the setting  
The digital video recorder has ventilation holes. Make sure  
these holes are not blocked after installation. Do not use  
the unit in areas with poor ventilation, such as a bookshelf  
or box. When installing the unit in a rack, ensure a gap of at  
least 5 cm at the top and bottom.  
Make sure the TV SYSTEM selector switch on the rear  
panel is set to “NTSC”. (ꢀP.8)  
Disconnect the power and then connect it again after  
selecting NTSC or PAL.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  
z After disconnecting the power cable, do not move the  
unit or subject it to vibration for at least 30 seconds. The  
disk in the hard disk drive briefly keeps spinning after the  
power is disconnected due to inertia. During this time the  
head is unstable, and the disk is more sensitive to  
shocks and vibrations than usual, so avoid even the  
lightest shocks.  
Connecting the power  
When you have finished making all the other  
connections, insert the power plug into the  
wall outlet.  
There is no power switch. The display indicators flash, and  
after a few moments, the monitor screen displays the  
camera image.  
Securing the power cord  
Secure the power cord to the holder using the supplied  
power cord tie as shown in the illustration.
