Please avoid storing or using this VTR in the following places:
● Extremely hot or cold places beyond the al-
lowable temperature for operation (5˚C – 40˚C).
● Humid or dry places beyond the allowable hu-
midity range for operation (30% –80% RH).
● Dusty or sandy places.
● Places exposed to oil, smoke or steam, such
as the kitchen vicinity.
● Intensely vibrating or unstable places.
● Places prone to condensation.
● Places that generate strong magnetic fields,
e.g., transformer or motor.

waves, e.g., transceiver or mobile phone.
● Places that generate radiation, X-rays or cor-
rosive gases.
Handling the unit
● Please do not place heavy objects on the VTR,
like a monitor or TV.
● Please do not insert foreign objects into the
cassette slot.
● Mind your finger when loading the cassette.
Please be careful not to get your fingers
clamped when loading the cassette to prevent
injury.
● Place this VTR out of reach of young children.
As injury may result from fingers getting

connect the VTR to a power source.
Use the supplied power cord. Using a
different type or damaged cord may
cause fire or electric shock.
E-6
Daily maintenance and regular inspection
This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated component
continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, please perform daily maintenance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire tape-winding
mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.
Please perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.
Regular inspection (maintenance)
The tasks of maintenance involved are similar to that of replacing the engine oil or tire of a car.
Depending on the number of usage hours, please clean, inspect or replace the components as
follows:
Number of hours 500H 1000H 1500H 2000H 4000H
Drum assembly (including head)
Head cleaner
Tape guide, roller
Reel disk • tension bands — —
Usage Time :You can check the drum usage time via the hour meter display.
For details, please refer to page 69, “Checking the hour meter”.
Maintenance consultation :For details on the maintenance plan and fee, please consult with
your nearest JVC-authorized service agent.

Maintenance necessity and frequency depends on the environment and usage. The above information serves only as a guide.
Head cleaning
● Recording or playing back with a stained head
will result in block noise or disrupted sound.
Please perform regular head cleaning to maintain superior image and sound quality.
Block noise
● For information on how to use the head cleaning
tape and the relevant precautions, please refer
to page 8, “Precautions on the use of cleaning
tape”.
● If dust adheres on the head, “HEAD CLEANING
REQUIRED!” will be displayed on the monitor
when this unit plays a tape.

INTRODUCTION
Precautions on the use of cleaning tape
Please use cleaning tape produced by JVC.
Please follow the instructions below when using the
cleaning tape.
1.
The tape will run for 10 seconds in the PLAY
mode. (Thereafter, it stops automatically and
enters the STOP mode.)
• After loading the cleaning tape, press the PLAY
button.
2.
For a single cleaning session, use it up to 4
times.
3.
Please refer to the following table as a guide for
cleaning.
Memo:
1. Under low humidity conditions, (10% RH to 30%
RH), please perform head cleaning at intervals
of half of the following stated periods.
2. If M-DV80 is used immediately after cleaning, the
VTR warning (“HEAD CLEANING
REQUIRED!”) may disappear only after the tape
has run for some time.
3. Please use the cleaning tape at room temperature (10˚C to 35˚C).
4. Instructions for using the cleaning tape are stated
inside its case. The contents may be slightly different from those stated here.
Please follow the instructions in this manual.

Memo
● DVCAM cassettes can be recorded in DV format.
Tapes recorded in DVCAM format can be played
(SP Mode).
● M-DV80 cassettes(Mini DV 80min tape) cannot be
used with this unit.
Precautions on the use of tape
● Reverse sides of videotapes cannot be used.
● Please store the tape only after it has been fully rewound, so as to avoid damaging the tape.
● Please store the cassette in places low in humidity, well-ventilated and fungus-proof.
● When a cassette is used repeatedly, noise may increase due to e.g., dropout, etc. hence affecting its
performance. Please do not use dirty or damaged tapes as they will shorten the life span of the
rotation head.
Erasure prevention
DV cassettes have a safety slide at the back to
prevent accidental erasure.
● To prevent accidental erasure of important
records, push the slide to the “SAVE” position.
● To record, push the slide to the “REC” posi-
tion.

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.
