 For recording and storing videotapes in the best condition

Observe the following instructions for the best recording and storage of videotapes.

● Ta ke care of the conditions of handling videotapes.

It is recommended that you record and store videotapes in the environment below.

Storage

Recording Shor t 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.

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. When chilled, the vapor turns into droplets of water. This state is known as condensation. When condensation occurs, the videotape will adhere to the head drum or the tape guides and will be damaged.

● Condensation occurs on this unit in the following

circumstances:

• It is moved abruptly from a cold place to a warm place.

• It is used in a room 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.

Head drum

Videotape

● When condensation occurs, the monitor displays

the following warning:

CONDENSATION ON DRUM

To remedy, leave the unit with the power ON and wait until the WARNING indicator disappears.

● Prevention of condensation

When transporting the BR-DV3000 from a cold to a warmer place abruptly, first take out the cassette. Then place the BR-DV3000 in a plastic bag and seal it before transporting the camera. Leave the BR-DV3000 in the sealed plastic bag until the camera has the same temperature as the surroundings. This will prevent condensation.

When a cassette tape is loaded, please do not transport e.g., from an external cold place to a warm room thereby subjecting the unit to drastic temperature changes. After moving the unit, please do not use it until the innards are stabilized.

• In the case that a microphone is connected to the MIC terminal, sound output from this terminal will be recorded. In the absence of MIC input, signals from the CH1/3, CH2/4 AUDIO IN terminal on the rear panel will be recorded.

• When audio dubbing cannot be performed, an alarm message will be displayed on the monitor. ( ☞ Page 23)

• Audio dubbing PAUSE cannot be executed directly in the STOP mode. Please execute it in the STILL mode.

During audio dubbing pause, sound from the CH3/CH4 channel is output via the monitor but sound output from the DV terminal is not possible.

• If audio dubbing is repeated on a short section of the tape, noise may occur for an instant when the section is played.

• During audio dubbing, noise may be produced on the playback video or EE sound but the recording is normal.

• The playback sound of CH1/2 cannot be recorded on CH3/4 (sound on sound).

• During backspace operation of audio dubbing, audio dubbing cannot be performed on unrecorded parts.

• When audio dubbing is performed on tapes recorded on other devices, it may not record correctly. Please record with this unit before performing audio dubbing.
