1 BEFORE USE  
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.  
Notes on handling removable HDDs  
This unit uses removable hard disk drives (HDD).  
Be sure to observe the following points carefully when  
operating, setting-up and servicing the unit.  
„ 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.  
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  
„ 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.  
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 CHANGE DISK indicator flashes if a problem occurs  
in the hard disk or fan. (JP. 18)  
„ Notes when replacing the HDD  
Be sure to follow the correct replacement procedure when  
replacing the HDD.  
Installation conditions  
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.  
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 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.  
In addition, use a method of transportation that minimizes  
the vibration.  
z To be prepared for malfunctions or accidents, back up  
important recordings periodically.

BEFORE USE  
Hard disk protection  
The hard disk is checked automatically at power ON. If a  
hard disk problem is found, the CHANGE DISK 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.  
MENU button  
The [MENU] button is disabled when the unit is connected  
to a PC. When the [MENU] button is operative, operations  
from the PC are disabled.  
AC adapter  
Do not use the AC adapter with other equipment.

2 REPLACING A REMOVABLE HDD  
A separately-sold hard disk tray (VA-DT300) can be  
installed to facilitate easier storage and replacement.  
2 Assemble and tighten the 4 screws.  
z When replacing with a HDD used in a DSR-300;  
Of the menu settings, only the recording area settings  
and the overwrite on/off setting are used for the HDD.  
z When replacing with a HDD used in a DVR other  
than a DSR-300;  
It is treated as a new HDD. The recorded contents will  
be initialized.  
z About the HDD;  
* Screw tightening torque: 0.5 to 0.6 N•m  
Use a non-slip torque screwdriver.  
Install an HDD provided by Sanyo. If an HDD supplied  
by a company other than Sanyo is used, Sanyo cannot  
be responsible for failures in performance or operation.  
z When tightening the screws, ensure that both screws  
on the same side are tightened first. Tightening  
diagonally may result in the HDD being strained.  
z Only the supplied screws should be used. (Inch-system  
screws are used for assembly; accordingly, the use of  
other screws may result in the HDD or screw threads  
being damaged.)  
Replacement  
z Always set the HDD as the master.  
The recorder will not operate if slave or cable select is  
set.  
z In cases where the HDD is not set as the master, or for  
whatever reason, it is not recognized by the unit,  
remove the power plug from the wall outlet, wait for  
approximately 30 seconds, and then remove the HDD.  
3 Replace the cover.  
Slide the cover over the case until the clasp locks into  
place.

z If the CHANGE DISK indicator is flashing in red  
The digital video recorder has a self-check function that  
indicates problems. If there is a problem at power ON or  
during operation, the type of problem is indicated by  
how rapidly the CHANGE DISK indicator flashes.  
Contact a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre if the  
CHANGE DISK indicator flashes.  
1 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.  
4 flashes per second:  
The hard disk is checked automatically at power ON.  
If a hard disk problem is found, the CHANGE DISK  
indicator flashes, and the hard disk must be replaced  
or reformatted. If you need to save images stored on  
the disk, contact a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre.

after power OFF due to inertia, during which time the  
head is unstable. At this time, the disk is sensitive to  
shocks or vibrations, so avoid even light shocks.  
* Attach the supplied ferrite core to the base of the  
power cable (coiling not necessary).

they will be 50% compressed in the horizontal direction  
when viewed using a standard image viewer. These  
files should, therefore, be opened using the  
INDEX.HTM file. Alternatively, the playback application  
DVR Viewer can be used to view these images. This  
application is needed when playing back images and  
audio, and it can be installed from the CD-ROM  
supplied with this digital video recorder.  
z Copying frame-recorded images to a CompactFlash  
card  
Since frame-recorded images are copied as two  
individual field images, frame playback will not be  
possible on your PC.  
z Images copied to a CompactFlash card  
Since images copied to a CompactFlash card contain  
embedded coding for the detection of manipulation,  
these codes can be detected using a suitable software.  
Contact your local service location for more details.

Table of recording rate and times  
This unit’s recording time can be changed by modifying the recording rate and the recording picture quality.  
The following table provides reference values for picture quality and recording rate in a situation where images are field  
recorded and frame recorded to the normal recording area on this unit’s removable HDD.  
z The time setting for the normal recording area and the alarm recording area is determined by multiplying the recording  
picture quality value from the recording rate table by the percent display value for the normal recording area and the alarm  
recording area as specified using the menu’s recording area settings.

z When a pre-existing network is being used, a check  
must be carried out by that network’s administrator to  
confirm that IP addresses do not coincide with other IP  
addresses already in use.  
z In order to provide security for computer control, three  
types of password are set in accordance with the  
different user levels, and this ensures that three  
different levels of restrictions can be introduced for  
operations. (JP. 110)  
Saving and playing back sound  
z To connect to the network and download images and  
audio, or to save live images or playback images on a  
PC, an exclusive plugin is necessary.  
Run plugin\Active Allinstall1.1.0\setup.exe on the  
supplied CD-ROM.

2 WATCHING IMAGES  
(when optional interface board is installed)  
Monitored live images and recorded images can be viewed  
freely and whenever so required.  
Interference may appear on images or the playback may  
seem to have paused during the following operations;  
however, this is normal and no cause for concern.  
z When the images from the normal recording area and  
the alarm recording area are played back in succession,  
the quality of the picture may drop momentarily as  
playback switches from one recording area to another.  
z If normal, fast-forward, or fast-rewind playback is  
carried out either for playback during alarm recording or  
continuous playback from the normal recording area  
and alarm recording area, the image may seem to have  
paused in certain cases.

the screen display, and other similar operations have  
absolutely no effect on timer recording and alarm  
recording.
