Safety Information
HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
The hard disk has a high storage density, which
enables long recording durations and quick
access to 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 use the BD-HDD Combo in a place
subject to extreme changes in temperature.
• Do not apply a strong shock to the BD-HDD
Combo.
• Do not place the BD-HDD Combo in a location
subject to mechanical vibrations or in an
unstable location.
• Do not place the BD-HDD Combo on top of a
heat source.
• Do not disconnect the AC power cord while the
power is on.
• Do not attempt to change the hard disk. This
may result in a malfunction.
Should the hard disk be damaged, you cannot
recover lost data. The hard disk is only a
temporary storage space.
