1 INTRODUCTION  
1 INTRODUCTION  
1-3 Precautions  
1-4 Precautions for use of head cleaning tape  
Adhere to the following precautions when using the head  
cleaning tape.  
Note 1) When used in a low humidity environment (10%  
Installation and storage  
Cassette tape  
RH to 30% RH), head cleaning should be  
conducted at intervals half of those given in the  
above chart.  
5
To avoid malfunctions or damage to your recorder, do  
not use or store it in places subject to the following  
conditions.  
5
Type  
1. The tape runs for 10 seconds at a time in the PLAY  
mode. (The tape stops automatically.)  
Press the PLAY button after the cleaning tape is fully  
loaded.  
Only cassettes bearing the MiniDV mark can be used  
with this VCR.  
Exclusive JVC DVM60 or DVM30 cassette tape is  
recommended.  
Note 2) When an ME80 tape is used immediately after  
head cleaning, the VTR warning (head) indicator  
may remain on. In this case, let the tape run as the  
indicator will turn off after the tape has run for a  
while.  
Extreme heat or cold temperature outside the  
allowable range (5˚C to 40˚C)  
Strong magnetic fields (generated by transformers,  
motors, etc.)  
Electrical waves generated by equipment such as a  
transceiver or cellular phone  
High humidity outside the allowable operating range  
(30% to 80%)  
Dust and soil  
Vibrations  
2. Do not use the tape more than four times at the most for  
each cleaning.  
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.  
3. The cleaning tape can be used approximately 100 times.  
Note 3) Use the cleaning tape in the room temperature  
5
Use the following chart as a guide for periodical head  
cleaning.  
(10˚C to 35˚C).  
Note 4) The cleaning tape case contains instructions for  
use of the cleaning tape. However, some of these  
instructions differ from the contents of this sheet.  
When using the cleaning tape, please follow the  
instructions of this sheet.

Condensation  
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.  
Store cassettes in a case.  
Yardstick for  
use of  
cleaning tape  
1 to 2 times  
every 5 hours every 20 to  
30 hours

Condensation  
* If you need to purchase a cleaning tape, consult your JVC  
dealer.  
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.  
Erasure prevention  
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.  
MiniDV cassettes are provided with a safety slide on the  
side to prevent accidental erasure. Set it as required.

5
5
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.  
Transportation  
5
Remove the cassette tape from the unit prior to  
transportation.  
The AC and DC power supplies are switched automati-  
cally. 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.  
Energy saving  
5
When not using the unit, turn the power off to avoid  
unnecessary power consumption.  
Use power voltage from DC 11 V to 15 V. Your unit may  
not function properly otherwise.

Connecting a monitor  
The on-screen display can be viewed on a monitor  
connected to the [VIDEO MONITOR OUT] connector.  
5 Digital outputs  
Digital signals conforming to IEEE 1394 are output from the  
[DV IN/OUT] connector.  
Connection with a monitor TV  
The audio output from the [AUDIO MONITOR OUT] connector  
is monaural.  
The phase of the output signal cannot be adjusted  
for external sync signals. The sub carrier cannot be  
locked.  
Use the front panel [AUDIO MONITOR] switch or No. 211  
<AUDIO MONITOR> menu switch to select the audio channels  
you want to monitor. The selected audio channel is shown in  
the table below. Adjust the audio volume level on the monitor.  
Relationship between [AUDIO OUTPUT] / [AUDIO MONITOR]  
switch and audio output channel  
Plugging and unplugging the external sync or video  
signal connector during operation causes distortion  
in the picture and sound for about 10 seconds.  
When signals input from the composite connector  
are output from the component connector, color may  
disappear in some parts of the left section of the  
monitor screen. This is not a malfunction.  
The set up is not applied to signals input to the  
[DV IN/OUT] connector and output in EE mode  
(component, Y/C, composite). Input signals are  
recorded as is.  
Use a video signal of less than 1 V(p-p) such as a  
black burst signal for external sync signal.  
When video signals are input to the DV IN/OUT  
connector, distortion may occur in the lower section  
of the picture in the EE mode. However, recording  
is performed normally.  
(During playback with 32 kHz sampling, audio dubbing, and  
DV input with the 32 kHz sampling in the EE mode)  
Regardless of setting of this switch, CH1/2 is selected for  
ordinary recording, record pause and analog audio input in the  
EE mode. CH3/4 is selected for audio dubbing in the Pause  
mode.  
Connecting video equipment  
Connect the video device to the appropriate connector  
(4 types are available).  
See Playback preparationon page 28.  
Headphones jack  
Audio can be monitored in stereo using the headphones.  
Use the front panel [AUDIO OUTPUT] switch to select the  
audio channels you want to monitor. The selected audio  
channel is shown in the table below. Adjust the audio volume

Notes:  
Notes:  
Before connecting the RM-G800/G805, be sure to  
turn the VCR OFF. Do not connect or disconnect  
the remote cable with the VCR ON.  
When the RM-G805 is connected, the A/B roll  
editing cannot be performed.  
When used in an editing system with the RM-G800/G805, the BR-DV600UAs preroll operation is comparatively slow.  
This is normal and is not a malfunction.  
When editing, the input signal (picture from the playback VCR) can be monitored. The playback picture of the recorder  
VCR just before the edit-in point cannot be checked.  
This unit cannot be used for CTL editing. Use for the time code editing.  
During remote control operation, be sure to turn the jog dial slowly. Otherwise, the VCR may not be able to keep up  
with the operation.  
Note:  
Do not use this unit continuously when the battery  
indicator is displayed. The unit may not operate  
properly. Remove the battery to avoid over-  
discharge.  
See 396 BATTERY SELECTon page 22.  
If editing is started in the Pause mode (still) at the preroll point, editing accuracy may be degraded.  
Use the RM-G800/G805 with the out-point return function OFF. Otherwise, it takes longer to stop editing.  
Use the RM-G800/G805 with the Auto EE mode OFF. Otherwise, the IEEE 1394 EE inherror indication is shown.  
When the RM-G805 is connected, the A/B roll editing cannot be performed. (U MODEL)  
Be sure to use this unit with the No. 460 <TC DUPLICATE> menu switch set to OFF. Otherwise, time code data may

4 MENU SWITCHES  
3 CONNECTIONS  
You can set menu switches using either the on-screen display or the counter display. To set switches on the on-screen display,  
you will need to connect a monitor to the VCRs [VIDEO MONITOR OUT] connector. This section explains how to set switches  
using the on-screen display. The same procedures apply to switch setting on the counter display, the only difference being that  
each menu switch item is indicated by numeric code rather than by name.

When the DV connector is used for control, assemble editing cannot be performed.  
When the VCR is stopped via the DV connector, a command error message may be returned to the controller. This is not  
a malfunction.

Audio dubbing  
Recording preparation  
Loading a cassette  
Audio dubbing is not possible on tapes recorded with  
48 kHz sampling frequency.  
If audio dubbing is performed repeatedly on a short  
section of the tape, there may be some noise when  
this section is played back.  
For audio dubbing, use a tape recorded with this unit.  
If another tape is used, first dub it to a tape on this  
unit. When audio is dubbed on a tape recorded on  
another VCR (including another BR-DV600UA/EA),  
sound and picture may be distorted.  
During audio dubbing, noise might be visible on the  
playback picture. But it is not a trouble of  
BR-DV600UA/EA. Audio dubbing itself is proceeded  
normally.  
Select the audio sampling rate with the No. 245 <SAMPLING  
RATE> menu switch.  
The number of usable audio channels is determined by the  
sampling frequency selected with the No. 245 <SAMPLING  
RATE> menu switch.  
Signals can only be recorded on CH3 and CH4.
