 Head cleaning

• Recording or playing back with a dirty head will result in block noise or disrupted sound. 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 remarks, refer to page 8, “Cleaning tape”.

• If the head is dusty, “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” will be displayed on the monitor when this unit plays a tape.

HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!

INTRODUCTION

Cleaning tape

Use a JVC cleaning tape. Follow the instructions below for using the cleaning tape.

Run the tape 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, it can be repeated up to 4 times.

Refer to the following table as a guide for cleaning.

Notes

● Under low humidity conditions, (10% RH to 30% RH), perform head cleaning at intervals of half of the periods stated in the table.

● If an M-DV80 tape is used immediately after cleaning, the message, “HEAD CLEANING

REQUIRED!” may not disappear. It does only after the tape has run for some time.

● Use the cleaning tape at room temperature (10˚C to 35˚C).

● Instructions for using the cleaning tape stated on a sheet inside its storage case may be different in part from those stated here.

Follow the instructions in this manual.

Memo

● DVCAM cassette can be recorded in the DV format.

● Tapes recorded in the DVCAM format can be played (SP Mode).

● M-DV80 cassettes (Mini DV 80min tape) cannot be used with this unit.

Remarks on the use of tape

● Do not load the videotape in the wrong direction.

● Store the tape only after it has been fully rewound, so as to avoid damaging the tape.

● Store the cassette in places low in humidity, well-ventilated and fungus-proof.

● When a cassette tape is used repeatedly, noise may increase due to e.g., dropout, etc. hence

affecting its performance. 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” position.

 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.

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.

Head drum

Videotape

When a cassette tape is loaded, do not transport e.g., from a cold outdoor place to a warm room thus subjecting the unit to drastic temperature changes. After moving the unit, do not use it until the inner mechanism stabilizes.

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

CONDENSATION ON DRUM

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.

 Output signal

When BR-DV6000 enters the STOP, REC or EDIT mode, the input signal (E-E image) is output. In the PLAYBACK mode (including the playback of the pre-roll part during editing), playback images are output. However, in the edit mode with analog input, signals cannot be output to the DV OUT terminal properly.

● Analog signal

• LINE OUT terminal (BNC): composite signal.

• Y/C OUT terminal (4-PIN): YC separate sig-

nal. When a wide screen ID signal exists in the video signal, the ID signal is output.

• COMPONENT OUT terminal (BNC3):

Component (Y/B-Y/R-Y) signals are output. The output level is of ß cam (HIGH).

● Digital signal

•DV IN/OUT terminal: it outputs IEEE1394-

compliant digital video signals. When a wide screen ID signal exists in the video signal, the ID signal is output.

● Connection with a monitor TV

A monitor TV can be connected to the MONITOR OUT terminal. Besides the composite video signals, it also displays the on-screen display for status or menu screen.

digital video signals are input.

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 occur 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).

To edit DV signals, synchronization signal input is required.

Types of synchronization signal:

BR-DV6000 is operated based on one of the following 3 types of synchronization signal.

• Synchronization signals produced by the synchronization signal generator inside the VCR (INT)

• Video signals from the video signal input terminal (VIDEO)

• Synchronization signals from the SYNC IN terminal (EXT)

Selection of synchronization signals:

Synchronization signals should be selected depending on whether external synchronization input (SYNC IN) or video input (VIDEO IN) exists or on the SYNC SELECT Menu settings. Synchronization signals are selected as shown in the following table.
