1 INTRODUCTION 1-3 Precautions Installation and storage 5 Avoid using the unit in places subject to the following conditions: - Extreme heat or cold - Strong magnetic field - High humidity - Dust and soil - Vibrations - Condensation Condensation 5 Do not use this unit immediately after moving it from a cold place to a warm place or after switching on a heater in a cold room. This will cause water vapor to condense on the video head drum and tape guides and may damage the tape and the VCR. 5 When condensation occurs, the DEW indication appears on the tape counter display and the warning indication on the on-screen display. Leave the VCR in this state with the power on and wait until the warning message turns off. Head drum Cassette tape 5 Type Only cassettes bearing the MiniDV mark can be used with this VCR. 5 Handling • Cassette tapes cannot be loaded upside-down. • Rewind the tape to the beginning before storage. • The number of times a tape can be reused is limited. If the tape is reused more than this, increased noise (such as dropouts) may result. Do not use dirty or damaged tapes. Doing so not only results in poorer performance, but may also shorten the service life of the rotary heads. • It is possible that some distortion may occur at the beginning and end of tapes. This can vary depending on the tape. However, for best results, do not use these sections of the tape for any important recordings. Erasure prevention MiniDV cassettes are provided with a safety slide on the side to prevent accidental erasure. Set it as required. Video tape Handling 5 Do not block the ventilation openings. 5 Do not place anything heavy on the unit. 5 Do not put any foreign materials into the cassette loading slot. 5 Operate the unit in a horizontal (flat) position only. 5 Avoid violent shocks to the unit. Transportation 5 Remove the cassette tape from the unit prior to trans- portation. Energy saving 5 When not using the unit, turn the power off to avoid unnecessary power consumption. REC SAVE Safety slide • Move the slide to SAVE to prevent erasure. • Move the slide to REC to allow recording. Power supply 5 This unit is provided with both AC and DC power supplies. For editing over an extended period, it is recommended that you use a stable AC power supply or DC power supply from an AC adapter. Using battery power is recommended only as a supplementary power source or for field use. 5 The AC and DC power supplies are switched automatically. When the AC power supply is switched to the DC power supply, the power turns off. When both power supplies are connected, the AC power supply has priority. Be sure to confirm which power supply is in use when plugging or unplugging the power supply. 6 2 CONTROLS, CONNECTORS AND DISPLAYS 2-1 Front Panel #$ % OPERATE CH-1/3 VIDEO CASSETTE RECORDER BR-DV600U ON/OFF 1 @ REC LEVEL EJECT 2 MENU ADVANCE PRESET CH-2/4 REC PLAY PAUSE ! 0 SHIFT SHIFT HOLD SHIFT A.
