Condensation

When this unit is moved from a cold to a warm
place abruptly, the vapor in the warm air will
come into contact with the head drum or the
tape guides, which are not warmed enough.
When chilled, the vapor turns into droplets of
water. This state is known as condensation.
When condensation occurs, the videotape
adheres to the head drum or the tape guides
and will be damaged.
Condensation occurs on this unit in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
* It is moved abruptly from a cold place to a
warm place.
* It is used in a place immediately after the
heater has been turned on, or when cold
breeze from an air-conditioner blows onto it.
* It is used at a place of high humidity.
When condensation occurs, the monitor dis-
plays the following warning:
When a cassette tape is loaded, do not trans-
port e.g., from a cold outdoor place to a warm
room thus subjecting the unit to drastic tem-
perature changes.
After moving the unit, do not use it until the
inner mechanism stabilizes.
Leave the unit with the power ON and wait
until the WARNING message disappears.
Prevention of condensation
When transporting BR-DV6000 from a cold
to a warmer place abruptly, first remove the
cassette tape. Then place BR-DV6000 in a
plastic bag and seal it before transporting.
Ta ke out BR-DV6000 from the sealed plastic
bag only after it has the same temperature
as the surroundings.
CONDENSATION ON DRUM
For recording and storing videotapes in the best condition
Observe the following instructions for the best recording and storage of videotapes.
•Take care of the conditions of handling videotapes.
It is recommended that you record and store videotapes in the environment below.
Storage
Recording Short period Long period
(Up to 10 years) (Over 10 years)
Temperature 17°C to 25°C 15°C to 23°C 15°C to 19°C
Humidity 30% to 70% 40% to 55% 25% to 35%
Hourly temperature change Less than 10°C
Hourly humidity change Less than 10%
Do not leave the videotapes neglected for a long period.
If videotapes are left wound for a long period of time, it may result in distortion of the tape. Also it
may cause tape-to-tape adhesion (known as blocking). It is recommended that videotapes be
unspooled and rewound once a year for refreshing.
When tapes are not in use, store them in cases and on end.
Storage cases protect videotapes from humidity, dust and ultraviolet. Keep tapes in cases and do
not store them lying flat. When housed in a horizontal position, pressure from other tapes can
cause distortions and deformations of the tape edges.

Caution on video signals
If search images or video signals with a high
level of jitter are input, images or sound may
be distorted temporarily. Thus, input stable
signals, e.g., those having gone through a
TBC.
A digital VCR requires that video signals for
recording be delivered from a stable source.
Video signals from an analog VCR must be
run through a TBS or TBC.
When a component output is executed for
composite-input video, discoloration may oc-
cur on the left side of the screen. It is not a
defect.
Synchronization signal
In order to enhance the level of edit precision,
input synchronization signals to all the devices
of the editing system during editing.
For BR-DV6000, input external synchronization
signals into the SYNC IN terminal. For external
synchronization signals, use video signals of 1V
(p-p) or lower (e.g., black burst signals).
Types of synchronization signal:
BR-DV6000 is operated based on one of the
following 3 types of synchronization signal.
Synchronization signals produced by the syn-
chronization signal generator inside the VCR
(INT)
Video signals from the video signal input ter-
minal (VIDEO)
Synchronization signals from the SYNC IN
terminal (EXT)
Selection of synchronization signals:
Synchronization signals should be selected de-
pending on whether external synchronization
input (SYNC IN) or video input (VIDEO IN) ex-
ists or on the SYNC SELECT Menu settings.
Synchronization signals are selected as shown
in the following table.
Playback

Memo
During DV signal recording, the status of
synchronization signals will be as shown be-
low regardless of the SYNC SELECT menu
settings.
Regardless of the setting of SYNC SELECT,
when a tape recorded in PAL is played back,
synchronization signals are as shown below.
Caution on synchronization signals
For external synchronization signals, output-
signal phase adjustments cannot be per-
formed. In addition, the sub carrier cannot be
locked.
Plugging and unplugging of external synchro-
nization signals or video input signals during
playback causes distortion of images and
sound for about 5 seconds.
