  In electronics, it is common to use "u" as a stand-in. The micro- prefix is only generally needed for capacitors, so pF, nF, uF, mF for picofarads, nanofarads, microfarads, and millifarads respectively (although we don't generally talk in millifarads, we would express it as, say, 2,200uF). In...

  It won't be instant. If the Aura is anything like a HDR-FOX (and it is a Humax PVR, after all), there is a (sometimes lengthy) series of housekeeping operations to perform during shutdown. Go away for an hour (safe margin) and see if it's still whirring then – only if so is it worth...

  It contains a hard disk drive. When the drive is spinning, there will be a little noise, and it will be amplified if you stand the unit on a resonant surface, such as a shelf. You should find the noise greatly diminished if you stand the unit on a cloth. There may also be a fan. However, in...

  Just to underline the point, the figures shown there are historical not current. They were stored on last retune. There needs to be a health warning in large letters added to that WebIF page.
