1. INTRODUCTION 1-1 Precautions for Proper Use ● Supply voltage Make sure that the power is between 11 V and 15 V DC. If the power voltage is too low, abnormal colour and increased noise may occur. Do not exceed 15 V DC in any case, or the unit could be damaged. ● Allowable ambient temperature and humidity Be sure to use the unit within the allowable temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and a relative humidity of 30% to 80%.
1. INTRODUCTION 1-2 Routine and Periodical Maintenance The GY-DV5000 incorporates precision mechanical parts, which will collect dirt, wear out and deteriorate as the unit is used. After the unit has been used for a long period even in a normal environment, the heads, drums and tape transport mechanisms also collect dirt.
1. INTRODUCTION 1-4 Videocassette to be Used ● Use JVC’s videocassette tapes marked with the “ ” or ” symbol. “ Standard DV videocassette: LA-DV276, LA-DV186, LADV124 Mini DV videocassette: M-DV63PRO, M-DV60, M-DV30 * Do not use M-DV80. ● Videocassettes cannot be used upside down. ● Avoid storing a videocassette with its tape not being completely wound, as this may damage the tape. Rewind it to the beginning before placing a cassette into storage.
1. INTRODUCTION 1-6 Condensation ● If the unit has been cooled down in a cold place and is then carried to a warm place, the moisture contained in the warm air may adhere to the head drum or tape guides and be cooled into water droplets. This phenomenon is referred to as condensation (dewing). When this occurs, the head drum and tape guides are covered with droplets allowing the tape to be stuck to them, leading to tape damage.
