operating and other instruction

2. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If

not sure of the type of power supply to your home or business, consult product dealer or local power company

3. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of

the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The product

should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or

the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

4. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

products that produce heat.

5. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water.

6. Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

7. Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,

and the point where they exit from the product.

8. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

9. Lightning – For added protection for this product during storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long

periods, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line

surges.

10. Object and Liquid Entry Points – Never insert foreign objects into the HVR, other than the media types

approved by OpenEye, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire

or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

11. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may

fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product.

12. Disc Tray – Keep fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. Neglecting to do so may cause serious

personal injury.

13. Burden – Do not place a heavy object on or step on the product. The object may fall, causing serious personal

injury and serious damage to the product.

14. Disc – Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious

personal injury and product malfunction.

15. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the unit from the outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.

• If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by

the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.

• If the unit has been dropped or the enclosure has been damaged.

• When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

16. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product as opening or removing covers may expose the user to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

17. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

18. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

BATTERY EXPLOSION CAUTION STATEMENT

CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used Batteries According to the

Instructions.

NOTES ON HANDLING

Please retain the original shipping carton and/or packing materials supplied with this product. To ensure the integrity

of this product when shipping or moving, repackage the unit as it was originally received from the manufacturer.

Do not use volatile liquids, such as aerosol spray, near this product. Do not leave rubber or plastic objects in contact

with this product for extended periods of time. Rubber or plastic objects left in contact with this product for extended

periods of time will leave marks on the finish.

The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after long periods of use. This is not a malfunction.

NOTES ON LOCATING

Place this unit on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined

stand.

If this unit is placed next to a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be

distorted. If this happens, place the HVR away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

NOTES ON CLEANING

Use a soft dry cloth for cleaning.

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do

not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzene, as they may damage the surface of the HVR.

If using a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

NOTES ON MAINTENANCE

This HVR is designed to last for long periods of time. To keep the HVR always operational we recommend regular

inspection maintenance (cleaning parts or replacement). For details, contact the nearest dealer.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture condensation damages the HVR. Read the following information carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:

When this product is brought directly from a cool location to a warm location.

When this product is moved to a hot and humid location from a cool location.

When this product is moved to a cool and humid location from a warm location.

When this product is used in a room where the temperature fluctuates.

When this product is used near an air-conditioning unit vent

When this product is used in a humid location.

Do not use the HVR when moisture condensation may occur.

If the HVR is used in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove any CD discs, connect the

power cord of the HVR to the wall outlet, turn on the HVR, and leave it for two to three hours. After two to three hours,

the HVR will warm up and evaporate any moisture. Keep the HVR connected to the wall and moisture will seldom

occur.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE.

DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.

CAUTION

RACK MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS

Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient

temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to

installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the

manufacturer.

Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for

safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not

achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the

effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate

consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Grounding – Grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to

supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
