M-DV80 cassettes (Mini DV 80min tape) can-  
not 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.

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

Short period  
(Up to 10 years)  
15°C to 23°C

• 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.  
• When condensation occurs, the monitor dis-  
plays the following warning:  
CONDENSATION ON DRUM  
• Condensation occurs on this unit in the fol-  
lowing circumstances:  
* It is moved abruptly from a cold place to a  
warm place.  
Leave the unit with the power ON and wait  
until the WARNING message disappears.  
* 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.  
• 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.  
Head drum  
Take out BR-DV6000 from the sealed plastic  
bag only after it has the same temperature  
as the surroundings.  
Videotape  
When a cassette tape is loaded, do not trans-  
port e.g., from a cold outdoor place to a warm  
room thus subjecting the unit to drastic tem-  
perature changes.  
After moving the unit, do not use it until the  
inner mechanism stabilizes.

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).  
Caution on synchronization signals  
For external synchronization signals, output-  
signal phase adjustments cannot be per-  
formed.In addition, the sub carrier cannot be  
locked.  
To edit DV signals, synchronization signal in-  
put is required.  
Plugging and unplugging of external synchro-  
nization signals or video input signals during  
playback causes distortion of images and  
sound for about 5 seconds.  
Types of synchronization signal:  
BR-DV6000 is operated based on one of the  
following 3 types of synchronization signal.  
• Synchronization signals produced by the syn-  
chronization signal generator inside theVCR  
(INT)  
• Video signals from the video signal input ter-  
minal (VIDEO)  
• Synchronization signals from the SYNC IN  
terminal (EXT)  
Selection of synchronization signals:  
Synchronization signals should be selected de-  
pending on whether external synchronization  
input (SYNC IN) or video input (VIDEO IN) ex-  
ists or on the SYNC SELECT Menu settings.  
Synchronization signals are selected as shown  
in the following table.

When BR-DV6000 is in the STOP, REC or EDIT  
mode, signals (EE sound), which have been  
input, are output.  
During the PLAYBACK mode (including the  
playback of the pre-roll part during editing), the  
playback sound is output.  
However, in the edit mode with analog input,  
signals cannot be output to the DV OUT termi-  
nal properly.  
In the following cases, the channels that receive  
output from the AUDIO OUTPUT terminal vary  
according to the setting of the AUDIO OUTPUT  
switch. The table below shows the channels.  
• During playback of tapes recorded in the 32kHz  
audio mode.  
• During audio dubbing.

Memo  
:Connection:  
During audio dubbing, if the tape comes to a  
part recorded in a mode in which audio dubbing  
cannot be performed (such as LP mode or 48  
kHz audio mode), the VCR will enter the STOP  
mode. When this happens, loud noise from the  
DV output may come out. Hence, before audio-  
dubbing, check the recording mode of the tape.  
In the case that a microphone is connected to  
the MIC terminal, MIC sound from this terminal  
will be recorded. In the absence of MIC input,  
signals from the CH1/3, CH2/4 AUDIO IN termi-  
nal on the rear panel will be recorded.  
When audio dubbing cannot be performed, an  
alarm message will be displayed on the moni-  
tor. (Page 25)  
Audio dubbing pause cannot be carried out di-  
rectly in the STOP mode. Do so in the STILL  
mode.  
During audio dubbing pause, sound from CH3/  
CH4 can be monitored, but sound output from  
the DV terminal is not possible.  
If audio dubbing is repeated on a short section  
of the tape, momentary noise may be produced  
when the section is played.  
During audio dubbing, noise may be produced  
on the playback video or EE sound, but the re-  
cording is not affected.  
The playback sound of CH1/2 cannot be re-  
corded on CH3/4 (sound-on-sound).  
If unrecorded parts are found during backspace  
operation of audio dubbing, audio dubbing can-  
not be performed.  
Audio dubbing sounds are input from the AUDIO  
IN terminal on the rear panel or the MIC terminal  
on the front panel. MIC terminal prevails over the  
AUDIO IN terminal.  
:Setting:  
• Set AUDIO MODE in the AUDIO Menu screen  
to “32 K.”  
• Do not set the INPUT SELECT switch on the  
front panel to “DV.”  
:Operation:  
1.Press the PLAY button to play the tape.  
2. At the position where you wish to perform  
audio dubbing, press the PAUSE button.  
¥ The unit enters the STILL mode.  
3. Press the PAUSE button while holding down  
the A.DUB button.  
¥ The unit enters the AUDIO DUBBING  
PAUSE mode.  
4. Adjust the audio recording level.  
Recording level of the sound to be audio-dubbed  
can be adjusted with the REC LEVEL Volume  
knobs.  
5. Press the PLAY button.  
¥ Audio dubbing begins. Audio signals are re-  
corded on CH3 and CH4.  
When audio dubbing is performed on tapes re-  
corded on other devices, it may not record cor-  
rectly. Record with BR-DV6000 before perform-  
ing audio dubbing.  
To stop audio dubbing temporarily, press the  
PAUSE button.  
6.To end audio dubbing, press the STOP button.

Note for audio insert editing (48 kHz/32 kHz mode)  
If the audio mode setting by menu on BR-DV6000 (audio mode of input signal in DV interface) is  
different from that of audio mode of the recorded tape, insert editing is impossible. (If editing is  
performed, it will automatically stop.)  
If the audio mode is changed during performing audio insert editing,  
• In case of DV interface editing, editing will be continued in accordance with the changed audio  
mode.  
• In case of analog interface editing, if the audio mode of the recorded tape is changed from 32 kHz  
mode to other mode, editing will automatcically stop during CH1/2 or CH3/4 audio insert editing.  
• In case of analog interface editing, editing will be continued in accordance with the audio mode  
setting by menu on BR-DV6000 during CH1/2/3/4 simultaneous audio insert editing or assemble  
editing even if the audio mode of the recorded tape is changed.  
Following editing mode is not available  
• Variable motion editing  
• Slow motion editing  
• Audio or Video split editing  
• Frame by frame editing (if editing of duration of less than 10 frames, it will automatically perform 10  
frames editing)  
• CTL editing (Editing may be possible in CTL mode, but since counter data cannot be coincided with  
tape position, editing accuracy will become worse.)

This is the factory’s default setting. This mode is especially intended for the following situations:  
• When using the JVC bus remote controller.  
• When not interfacing with external sync.  
• INTERNAL-PRESET-FREERUN (Free run mode)  
Please choose this mode when you want to preset time code from the RS-422A remote controller.  
Please note that time code will be discontinued when an external sync signal is not input to both the

mode to your liking.  
And in the case of DV interface editing  
: To make a prerecorded tape with the audio mode corre-  
sponding with the source tape.  
It is necessary to record continuous time code information on a prerecorded tape.  
Please refer to “Presetting the time code” section. (Page 59)  
Note  
When the BR-DV6000 is used as an editing recorder we recommend using tapes that were recorded  
in this machine.  
Confirmation by preview editing  
Before performing editing, it is possible to check the edit-in and –out points in preview editing.  
It does not work with the JVC bus interface editing controller.  
If the editing controller has a learn function, it is recommended that this function is used.  
To activate the capstan bump function, it is necessary to set sufficient pre-roll time. It is recommended  
that a minimum of 7 seconds is set.  
Note  
• During preview or editing the E-to-E picture and audio will appear a few frames different from the  
actual record point. However, the final images will be recorded with correct timing on the tape.  
• When the JVC bus interface editing controller is used, the monitor output picture of the recorder  
always shows the player. It is not possible to check PB/EE switching at edit points.  
Perform editing  
After setting edit points, starts editing by using perform button on the editing controller.  
Note  
• Occasionally, E-to-E pictures may be disturbed during editing but the recordings will be unaffected.  
Try to avoid repeat editing on the same section of tape as, to do so may, after many edits eventually  
cause induced noise at the edit points.

RS-232C INTERFACE  
– RS-232C commands –  
An optional RS-232C interface board SA-K46U can be installed to BR-DV6000 and connected to a  
personal computer. Data transmitted and received via the RS-232C interface enables the PC to  
control the VCR and gather status and operating information.  
Preparation  
To control the VCR by the RS-232C interface, the following settings are required.  
• Set REMOTE SEL 232 in the REMOTE (1/2) Menu screen to ON.  
• Set the REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the front panel to REMOTE.  
Command tables  
BR-DV6000 is controlled according to the following two command tables (BASIC, JVC-1).  
Command  
Description  
F6  
F7  
JVC-1 TABLE ON : Hereafter, JVC TABLE-1 is followed.  
BASIC TABLE ON : Hereafter, BASIC TABLE is followed. JVC TABLE-1 is turned OFF.  
VCR operation commands  
These commands are used to operate the VCR. When a  
command is received correctly, theVCR returns ACK (0Ah)  
and enters the mode corresponding to the command.
