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.
●
●
Standard DV cassettes
LA-DV276 LA-DV186 LA-DV124
Mini DV cassettes
M-DV63PR0 M-DV60 M-DV30
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

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 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. 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.

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.
