 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.

Memo

• In the playback mode, the signal system of the tape is automatically identified, regardless of the NTSC/PAL switch setting.

• This unit is equipped with a function to automatically detect the signal system of the cassette being played back or the signal being received at the DV input connector. However, this function may not operate correctly in some instances. To ensure the correct system selection, it is recommended that you match the rear panel’s NTSC/ PAL switch to the signal system of the input signal or playback tape.

• When the unit enters the STOP mode, the NTSC/PAL switch setting will be engaged.

• If a tape recorded in both NTSC & PAL signal systems is played, the video, audio or time code may be distorted at the position where the signal system is switched.

• When the signal system of the tape and the NTSC/PAL setting differ, video and sound output will be upset for about 5 seconds after playback starts or stops.

• NTSC/PAL signal system conversion is not possible.
