HDD Physical Format and Logical Format For details of formatting, refer to the Operation Manual recorded in the CD-ROM of the BZSR-2000 Sample version. 1. Perform the physical formatting from the BZSR-2000. m . It takes approximately 30 minutes (when 73 GB HDD is installed) to complete the physical format- ting. Do not reset during the physical formatting. Also, do not turn off the main power during the physical formatting. . When physical formatting is completed, confirm that the HDD state is normal. When an error occurs, format again. If an error occurs again, replace the HDD or contact your local Sony Sales Office/Service Center. 2. Upon completion of physical formatting, execute the logical formatting. m . Be careful not to make mistake in selecting either NTSC or PAL mode that must suit to your operating environment when starting the logical formatting. . If you have changed the mode from NTSC to PAL mode or vice versa, be sure to execute the logical formatting. n Executing the physical/logical formatting clears all of the previously recorded data. 75 Z termination switch

of the VSR-2000A. Accumulation of dirt on the filter blocks ventilation will be cause of the heat to build up inside the unit. This may cause trouble to assure full performance of the VSR- 2000A. Therefore periodic cleaning of the filter is recommended. n For details of filter replacement, refer to VSR-2000/2000A Service Manual. Cleaning 1. Remove the front panel assembly. (Refer to Section 1-7.) 2. Remove the filter from the front panel assembly. 3. Vacuum the dust accumulated on the filter with a vacuum cleaner. 4. Install the filter and front panel assembly by reversing the disassembling procedure. (Refer to Section 1-7.) 2-1. Circuit Protection Device The circuit protection device (positive thermistor) is mounted on the MB-755A board. If overcurrent flows through the circuit when the power is provided from the switching regulator to each HDD unit, or the ambient temperature of the device rises, the internal resistance of the device will increase suddenly. This limits the current flowing through the circuit. When the circuit protection device operates, turn off the power and check the circuit to eliminate the cause of the overcurrent. After waiting for the device to cool off, turn on the power again. The circuit protection device will be reset automatically. Front panel assembly Filter

VSR-2000 to the VSR-2000A using the upgrade kit BKSR-U2000. Upgrade kit (BKSR-U2000) It consists of the following components: 1. SY-302 board 1 pc 2. PU-122 board 1 pc 3. IF-833 board 5 pcs 4. Front panel assembly 1 pc 5. Rack angle 2 pcs 6. BZSR-2000 Trial version CD-ROM 1 pc m . Upgrading the VSR-2000 to the VSR-2000A finally requires logical formatting of HDD because the file format needs to be changed. Because executing the logical formatting clears all of the previously recorded data, save the material data that you want to use in future, in any other VSR-2000/2000A or in a storage media of your personal computer tentatively before starting upgrading. Returning the material data that you have saved in other VSR-2000/2000A or a storage media of your personal computer, back to the VSR-2000A upon completion of upgrade, enables you to use the material data again. . To use the clip transfer function and the archive function of the BZSR-2000, refer to Operating Instructions available in the Trial version CD-ROM supplied with the system. . When the VSR-2000 is kept installed in a rack, the upgrade work is difficult. Uninstall the VSR-2000 from a rack once and perform the upgrade work in a stable location with sufficient space. . Be sure to take an appropriate preventive measure fro static electricity such as putting on the earth wristband that is connected to ground before starting removal and installation of a hard disk and/or circuit board. . This section describes the upgrade work on the premise that the upgrade work is done by system engineer or service engineer.

(2) Remove the five screws (PSW 3 x 6) and remove the two screws (BVTT 3 x 6). Then remove the IF position setting plate. (3) Remove the five IF-678 boards. 11. Install the IF-883 board as follows. Install the five IF-883 boards by reversing the IF-678 board removal procedure as shown in step 10. 12. Install the power supply unit as follows. Install the power supply unit by reversing the step 9. c Tighten the screws of power supply unit. If the power supply unit is not secured completely, the contact resistance of the power connector will be increased and may cause parts damage or smoking. 13. Install the cover and rack angle as follows. Install the cover and rack angle by reversing the step 8. 9. Remove the power supply unit as follows. (1) Remove the four screws. (2) Pull the lever in the direction of the arrow. Pull out the power supply unit by holding the handle. n Be careful not to touch the connectors of the power supply unit in order to prevent the power supply unit from poor electrical contact.

Install the HDD unit by reversing the step 7. 15. Install the front panel assembly as follows. Install the front panel assembly by reversing the step 6. 16. System connection Perform the system connection referring to “1-11. Example of System Connection”. 17. Logical format Execute the logical formatting using the BZSR-2000 CD-ROM supplied with the BKSR-U2000. m . If you use the BZSR-2000 CD-ROM supplied with the BZSR-2000 of former version before upgrading, your file system will be formatted to the old format so that all functions of the VSR-2000A cannot be used. Be sure to use BZSR-2000 CD-ROM supplied with the BKSR-U2000. . Be careful not to make mistake in selecting either NTSC or PAL mode that must suit to your operating environment when starting the logical formatting. Upgrading

Voor de klanten in Nederland Hoe u de batterijen moet verwijderen, leest u in de Service-handleiding. Gooi de batterij niet weg maar lever deze in als klein chemisch afval (KCA). Für Kunden in Deutschland Entsorgungshinweis: Bitte werfen Sie nur entladene Batterien in die Sammelboxen beim Handel oder den Kommunen. Entladen sind Batterien in der Regel dann, wenn das Gerät abschaltet und signalisiert “Batterie leer” oder nach längerer Gebrauchsdauer der Batterien “nicht mehr einwandfrei funktioniert”. Um sicherzugehen, kleben Sie die Batteriepole z.B. mit einem Klebestreifen ab oder geben Sie die Batterien einzeln in einen Plastikbeutel.
