About the hard disk drive (HDD)

•This unit is equipped with HDD, which is a very delicate device. Therefore, handle this unit carefully.

•Don’t expose this unit to vibrations and shocks. It may be damaged when exposed to vibrations and shocks especially during power-on or access to the HDD.

•Don’t unplug the power cord during recording/playback or power-on.

•This unit is equipped with a system that automatically resumes and continues recording in the event of a minor failure in the HDD or other components during recording. However, depending on the type of a failure in the HDD, this unit may not able to continue recording. For early detection of failures, it is recommended to have this unit inspected every year.

•In the event of a fault in the HDD, replace it immediately. For replacement of the HDD, please contact your Mitsubishi dealer. (To replace the HDD, it is required to stop recording.)

•Use recommended HDD only. For HDD supported by this unit, please contact your Mitsubishi dealer.

•When the HDD is replaced, the recorded data are deleted. To ensure stable operation of this unit, the firmware may be updated from time to time. The recorded data may be deleted in such a case.

•When you dispose of or transfer this unit, handle the video data stored in HDD carefully and take all responsibilities related to the disposal or transfer.

•In the event of a failure in the HDD during normal recording or mirroring, this unit may not be able to resume recording after rebooted, depending on the failure condition.

•When you enable the mirroring function while the recorded data are stored in the HDD, the recorded data are deleted.

•When you delete the data, the recorded images cannot be played back any more.

•It is recommended to check regularly that the recorded data are played back correctly.

Precautions for rack-mounting

•When mounting this unit in a rack, ensure that the temperature inside the rack doesn’t rise to 40°C or higher. When installing a rack, you are recommended to install fans to keep the temperature inside the rack 30°C or lower.

•Don’t install a device that becomes hot under this unit. Otherwise the inside temperature may rise, causing a failure.

•Don’t give a shock to all HDD devices in the rack.

•Before taking this unit in or out of the rack, be sure to turn off HDD devices being energized in the rack.

•Don’t place this unit near a device that generates vibrations.

Changing installation location

•When moving this unit, be sure to turn off the MAIN switch, make sure that the unit is completely stopped, and then unplug the power cord. When this unit is exposed to excessive shock while being energized, the internal electronic parts or HDD may be damaged. Be careful especially while the power indicator or access indicator is blinking.

•Don’t move this unit for at least one minute after you turn off the power. Even after the power is turned off, the disc in the HDD keeps rotating by inertia for a while and the head is in an unstable state. This unit in such state is more vulnerable to vibrations and shocks than while being energized. Be careful not to give this unit even a slight shock for at least one minute after turning off the power. Wait at least one minute for the disc to stop, and then you can move the product.

•When moving this unit, cover it with shock absorbers to prevent shocks to the inside.

•When placing this unit on a floor, lay it gently on a soft mat or cloth.

Maintenance

•Gently wipe dirt off the cabinet with a soft cloth.

•When dirt persists, clean it off using a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well and then wipe dry.

•When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow its instructions.

•Don’t use solvent such as benzene and thinner. Otherwise the surface of the product may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

Beginning

Motion detection function

•Motion detection function in this unit may malfunction depending on the input condition of the video signal. If you connect this unit to a system that issues an alarm using the motion detection function, take care to avoid such malfunction. When the motion detection function malfunctions, connect another sensor to the ALARM IN terminal on the rear of this unit.

Supplied power cord

• The supplied power cord is designed for this unit only. Don’t use this cord for other products.

Setting Main, Copy, and Archive devices

<HDD registration>

You can assign the HDDs to Main, Copy, and Archive devices.

Notice

•You cannot register devices during access to the HDD such as recording and playback. In addition, you cannot start recording or playback during registration.

•Devices that can be set as Copy device are serial bus HDD, DVD/CD drive (external), and USB memory.

With this recorder, up to 4 GB USB memory devices are usable. USB memory devices with 128 MB or less capacity are not supported.

Device that can be set as Archive device is serial bus HDD.

•Up to 10 devices including DVD/CD drive and USB memory can be connected to the serial bus. This is the total number of Main, Copy, and Archive devices.

•Up to 10 HDDs including internal HDDs can be used as Main device. (This is the total number of internal HDDs and serial bus HDDs.)

•Space totaling 22 GB of the internal HDDs is assigned to the preliminary recording area. (11 GB each from Internal A and B) This space is so assigned even when the preliminary recording is disabled.

Cautions for using external devices

By connecting various external HDDs to this recorder, you can expand the memory or use them as a copy device. However, when you perform recording, playback, or copy at a high rate using this unit, recording or playback data dropout or other failure may occur depending on the connected device because of slow data transfer or slow response. Be sure to check for such failure before starting the practical operation of the recorder.

Don’t use the function to control the powers of external devices using the bus power of this recorder.

Hookup and operation setting of HDDs

When you connect an HDD to the SERIAL BUS port of the recorder, use a USB 2.0 cable.

Turn off the MAIN switch before connecting the HDD. After the completion of connection, turn on the powers of the external devices first and then turn on the MAIN switch of the recorder.

The connected HDD is recognized at the time of startup.

Order of recording and playback of the internal and external HDDs registered as Main device

Recording and playback are carried out on the internal HDDs in the following order:

Internal A Internal B

When recording or playback on the internal HDDs is completed, it is carried on to the HDDs connected to the SERIAL BUS port. Recording is carried out in the order of number contained in the device name «SBM,» 01 to 08.

When recording or playback on the serial bus HDDs is completed, it is carried on to the internal HDDs.
