1. INTRODUCTION  
1-1 Precautions for Proper Use  
1-2 Routine and Periodical Maintenance  
● Supply voltage  
● Precautions for transportation  
Do not drop or hit the unit against a hard object.  
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. Especially, dust which penetrates the inside of theVCR section during outdoor use will promote the wear and deterioration  
of mechanical parts by causing poor contact between tape and heads or failing to maintain the video and audio quality at high  
levels.To prevent wear and deterioration, clean the mechanical parts using a head cleaning tape as routine maintenance. However,  
cleaning with a head cleaning tape alone is not enough for cleaning the entire tape transport mechanism, so it is also recommended  
to apply periodical maintenance (inspection) to prevent the sudden occurrence of failure. As the replacement, adjustment and  
servicing of parts require advanced skill and equipment, please consult the person in charge of professional video equipment at  
your nearest JVC-authorized service agent.  
Make sure that the power is between 11 V and 15 V DC. If  
the power voltage is too low, abnormal color and increased  
noise may occur. Do not exceed 15 V DC in any case, or the  
unit could be damaged.  
● Remove the videocassette before transporting the unit.  
● Do not insert an object other than a videocassette in the  
cassette insertion slot. Be sure to close the cassette cover  
when the unit is not to be used for a long period.  
● 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%. Using  
the unit at a temperature or humidity outside the allowable  
ranges could result not only in malfunction but the impact on  
the CCD elements could be serious as small white spots  
may be generated. When storing the GY-DV5000 for a long  
time, the storage temperatures should be -20°C to 60°C.  
● Do not set the POWER switch to OFF or remove the power  
cable during recording or playback. Otherwise the tape may  
be damaged.  
● The sensitivity level of the provided microphone is set lower  
than the reference input (- 60 dBs) setting.  
Head Cleaning  
Periodical Maintenance  
Contents : Check or replace the following mechanical parts  
according to the running time.  
● To maintain beautiful pictures and sound, be sure to use a  
head cleaning tape to clean the head periodically. (Read the  
“Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape” on page 8.) If  
head cleaning is not performed periodically, a type of mosaic  
noise called block noise may appear in the picture or sound  
may be interrupted.  
● When the unit is not in use, be sure to set the POWER switch  
to OFF in order to reduce power consumption.  
● Strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism  
Noise may appear in the picture or audio and/or the colors  
may be incorrect if the camera is used near a radio or  
television transmitting antenna, in places where strong  
magnetic fields are generated by transformers, motors, etc.,  
or near devices emitting radio waves, such as transceivers  
or cellular phones.

● Cleaning the body: Wipe body with a dry, soft cloth. When it  
is extremely dirty, soak the cloth in a solution of neutral  
detergent, wipe the body with it, and then use a clean cloth  
to remove the detergent.To prevent deformation of the body,  
etc. and to avoid operation hazards, do not allow volatile  
liquids such as benzine and thinner to touch the body, and  
do not wipe it with a cloth soaked in such a liquid.

1-6 Condensation  
1-3 Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape  
Please use cleaning tape produced by JVC.  
Adhere to the following precautions when using the head  
cleaning tape.  
Note 1) When used in a low humidity environment, head cleaning  
●
●
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.  
●
“CONDENSATION ON DRUM” is displayed on the LCD  
monitor and in the viewfinder when condensation occurs in  
this unit.  
should be conducted at intervals half of those given in  
the below chart.  
Note 2) If an ME80 tape is used immediately after head cleaning,  
the “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” 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.  
1. Place the unit in the STOP mode.  
2. The tape runs for 10 seconds at a time in the PLAY mode.  
(The tape stops automatically and then the unit enters the  
SAVE MODE.) Press the PLAY button after the cleaning  
tape is fully loaded.

CONDENSATION ON DRUM  
Note 3) Use the cleaning tape in the room temperature (10˚C to  
35˚C).  
Condensation occurs in the following cases:  
•
When the unit is suddenly moved  
from a cold place to a warm place.  
When a room heater has just started  
or when the unit is exposed directly  
to cold air from an air conditioner.  
When the unit is placed in a very  
humid place.  
Head drum  
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.  
Note 5) If the “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” does not  
disappear after repeated head cleanings, the recording  
tape may be abnormal. Avoid excessive repeated use of  
the head cleaning tape.  
3. Do not use the tape more than four times at the most for  
•
each cleaning.  
4. The cleaning tape can be used approximately 100 times.  
Keep the power on until the warning message disappears.

1-7 Characteristic CCD Phenomena  
REC  
Smear and Blooming  
Moire or Aliasing  
Shooting stripes or fine patterns may cause a jagged effect or  
a banding in fine mesh patterns.  
SAVE  
Due to the physical structure of a CCD it is possible to induce  
vertical streaking (called “smear“) when shooting an extremely  
bright light source.Another effect is the expansion of light around  
a bright light or object (called “blooming“).  
White dots  
The CCD employed in this unit is characterized by inducing  
very little smear or blooming. Nevertheless, please take note  
that smear or blooming may be indured when shooting a bright  
light source.  
High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to produce  
the effect of white dots in the image. This condition is  
conspicuous especially when gain is applied.  
1-5 Battery Pack to be Used  
This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device (CCD).  
As far as possible, use the unit under conditions where the  
temperature of the unit does not increase.  
Smear  
The GY-DV5000 can use any of the following battery packs.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK  
Turning the Power OFF  
● When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a  
cool, dry place.  
Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be  
subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car,  
etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service  
life.  
● When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the  
operating time will be shortened.  
● If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even  
immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery  
pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.  
Recharging  
● Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it.  
Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could  
result in reduced battery capacity.  
1. Place the GY-DV5000 in the record-standby or STOP mode.  
2. Set the POWER switch to OFF.  
● If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete  
recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge  
the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the  
battery capacity.  
3. Remove the battery pack or the power supply to the DC IN connector. (When the camera is not going to be used for a longer  
period.)  
● If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature  
raised immediately after use, recharging may not be  
performed completely.  
CAUTION:  
● Do not set the POWER switch to OFF while recording is taking place.  
Confirm that the STBY or STOP indication is shown in theVTR operation mode indication area before the power is turned off.  
Should the POWER switch accidentally be set to OFF during a recording, wait at least 5 seconds before turning the power on  
again.  
● Always set the POWER switch to OFF before disconnecting the power supply  
Do not turn the battery pack or AC power supply OFF while the POWER switch on the camera is still set to ON.

FULL-TIME AUTOWHITE BALANCE (FAW)  
The FAW function adjusts the white balance value  
automatically as the lighting condition changes.  
CAUTION:  
● The FAW (Full-time Auto White balance) function cannot  
provide optimum white balance with a subject outside  
the FAW adjustment range, for example when it contains  
only a single color or not enough white color.  
● The accuracy of the FAW (Full-time Auto White balance)  
is inferior to that of the manual white balance.  
● When the power is turned on with the FAW mode  
selected, it takes about 10 seconds for the FAW  
adjustment to be completed. Do not shoot within this  
interval.  
This mode is convenient when you have no time to adjust the  
white balance or when the camera is moved frequently in and  
out of places under different lighting conditions.  
■ Setting procedure  
The FAW function can be activated with the FAW item on the  
CAMERA OPERATION menu screen.The FAW function can  
be allocated to one of the white balance switching switches  
A, B, or PRESET.

MEMO:  
● When the backup recording is started, the “TRIGGER  
TO DV” indication is shown on the LCD or in the  
viewfinder for 3 seconds.  
● When the Backup Recording function of BR-DV600A or  
BR-DV3000 is used, the DV REC TRIGGER item on the  
GY-DV5000’s OTHERS (1/2) Menu Screen should be set  
to OFF.  
● If the backup device is equipped with a feature to record  
time codes input from the DV IN/OUT terminal (TC  
DUPLICATE feature), time code data the same as on  
the master side can be recorded.  
● When using BR-DV600A as a backup device and  
switching GY-DV5000 from the EDIT SEARCH or  
PLAYBACK mode to the RECORD mode, noise will be  
noticed on the monitor output screen of BR-DV600A  
(backup will be correctly recorded).  
● The operation methods differ with the characteristics and specifications of the connected equipment. Even if connection is  
possible, operation or data communication may sometimes be impossible to perform.  
● If block noise appears or the sound falls out, try to disconnect and then connect the DV cable again, or turn the power to the  
GY-DV5000 off and then on again.  
● When connecting to a D-9 (digital-S) component with an IEEE1394 connection, the date and time data are not output from  
the D-9 component. Also, the date and time data cannot be recorded on the D-9 component. When making an IEEE1394  
connection with a D-9 component, install SA-DV60 on the device.  
● If the power to the component connected to the DV connector is turned on, or the video input is changed, noise may appear  
in the audio.When these operations have to be performed, reduce the sound volume of the audio component, speaker, etc.,  
connected to the GY-DV5000 to a minimum.  
Use the GY-DV5000 as the master unit.

10-3 RecordingTime Codes in Continuation ofTime Codes Recorded onTape  
11-1 Menu Screen Configuration  
The GY-DV5000 also incorporates a time code reader. Therefore, when the unit enters record mode from record-standby mode, it  
can read the time code data recorded on the tape and record time codes in continuation of the existing data. The recorded user’s  
bit data are identical to the user’s bit data recorded on tape.  
The Menu Screen consists of multiple layers of menu screens as shown below.The menu screen to be set is selected from theTOP  
MENU in accordance with the function or purpose.  
The items on the menu screens differ with the Camera mode and the VTR mode. The contents of set items are stored in the GY-  
DV5000’s memory and are retained even when the power is turned off.
