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.

䡵

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:

● Humid or dry places beyond the allowable humidity 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

● Places near devices that generate electric waves, e.g., transceiver or mobile phone

● Places that generate radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases

䡵 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 clamped when loading the cassette, please keep this VTR out of reach of young children.

● Please do not block the ventilation openings.

● Avoid violent shocks to the unit. Do not drop

the unit.

● Please remove the cassette tape from the cassette slot when transporting the unit.

● Please remove the AC adapter to save energy when the unit is not in use.

䡵 Maintaining the unit (Please turn off the

power before performing maintenance work.)

Please wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not wipe it with thinner or benzene lest the surface melts or becomes dull. For stubborn stains, wipe first with a water-diluted neutral detergent and then wipe dry.

䡵 Please use the provided AC adapter to

connect the VTR to a power source.

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.

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.

For a single cleaning session, use it up to 4 times.

Please refer to the following table as a guide for cleaning:

Operating environment

Low temperature Room temperature High temperature

of the unit 5˚C to 10˚C 10˚C to 35˚C 35˚C to 40˚C

Guide for using 1 to 2 times every 1 to 2 times every 1 to 2 times every cleaning tape 5 hours 20 to 30 hours 5 hours

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.

Cassette tape

This unit can record onto and playback standard DV and mini DV cassette tapes (for SP mode only). Please use the following JVC cassettes with the or the logos.

䡵 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.

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.

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.

● When condensation occurs, the monitor displays the following warning:

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.

Head drum

Videotape

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.

• During audio dubbing, if the tape comes to a part recorded in a non dubbing-feasible mode (such as LP mode or 48kHz audio mode), the VTR will enter the STOP mode. When this happens, high-volume noise from the DV output will occur. Hence, before audio-dubbing, please check the recording mode of the tape.

• 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.
