1. INTRODUCTION  
1-1 Precautions for Proper Use  
Supply voltage  
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.  
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.  
Do not set the POWER switch to OFF or remove the power  
cable during recording or playback. Otherwise the tape may  
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%. 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.  
The sensitivity level of the provided microphone is set lower  
than the reference input (- 60 dBs) setting.  
When the unit is not in use, be sure to set the POWER switch  
to OFF in order to reduce power consumption.  
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.  
Strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism  
Noise may appear in the picture or audio and/or the colours  
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.  
The camera may not show stable pictures in the period  
immediately after the power is turned on, but this is not a  
malfunction.  
Use of wireless microphone near the camera  
When a wireless microphone or wireless microphone tuner  
is used near the camera during recording, the tuner could  
pick up noise.  
If a tape containing recorded NTSC signals is played back,  
“NTSC INHIBIT” is displayed and correct playback will not  
take place. If this happens, remove the videocassette so that  
the unit returns to its normal state.  
Avoid using or placing the unit in places;  
• subject to extreme heat or cold;  
• with excessive dirt or dust;  
When turning on the power with the tape inserted or after  
loading a tape, the built-in head cleaner will emit a sound  
while operating. However, this is not a malfunction of the  
unit.  
• with high humidity or moisture;  
• subject to smoke or vapour such as near a cooking stove;  
• subject to strong vibrations or on an unstable surface.  
• also do not leave the unit for long hours in a parked car  
under direct sunlight or near room heating equipment.  
The LCD screen and the viewfinder screen are manufactured  
using high-precision technology. Black spots may appear on  
the LCD screen and the viewfinder screen, or red, blue, green  
and/or white spots may not turn off. However, this is not a  
malfunction and these spots are not recorded on the tape.  
Do not leave the unit where it is subject to radiation or x-  
rays or where corrosive gasses occur.  
Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the cassette  
insertion slot as this may result in personal injury or damage  
to the mechanism.  
Protect the unit from being splashed with water  
(especially when shooting in the rain).  
Protect the unit from being wet when shooting on a beach.  
In addition, salt and sand may adhere to the camera body.  
Be sure to clean the camera after use.  
CAUTION :  
Protect the unit against penetration of dust when using it in a  
place subject to sandy dust.  
Do not point the lens or viewfinder directly at the sun or  
other strong light source.  
• Eye damage could result.  
Optical performance of lens  
Due to the optical performance of the lens, colour divergence  
phenomena (magnification chromatic aberration) may occur  
at the periphery of the image. This is not a camera  
malfunction.  
• If the lens or viewfinder is left pointed at the sun, rays  
may collect inside the unit and cause damage or a  
fire.  
When carrying the camera, be sure to hold the carrying  
handle. Holding the lens or viewfinder may result in  
damage.  
Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching between  
the playback picture and the EE picture.  
Use the unit in an upright position.  
If placed on its side, heat release efficiency will deteriorate,  
adversely affecting the tape transport. Depending on  
circumstances the tape may also be damaged.  
Vibrations  
Colors may fail to appear and/or the image and sound may  
be disturbed during VTR playback in locations subjected to  
strong vibrations.  
Precautions for transportation  
Do not drop or hit the unit against a hard object.  
Remove the videocassette before transporting the unit.

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. Especially, dust which penetrates the inside of the VCR 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.

The accumulated running time of the unit can be confirmed  
with the hour meter display (which shows the accumulated drum  
running time). For details, see HOUR METER DISPLAYon  
page 94.  
When dust adheres to the heads, the warning message  
HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!is displayed on the LCD  
monitor and in the viewfinder during playback, edit search,  
and recording check using the RET button on the lens section.  
For consultations related to the maintenance planning or  
cost, please contact the person in charge of professional  
video equipment at your nearest JVC-authorized service  
agent.  
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  
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.  
Note 3) Use the cleaning tape in the room temperature (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.  
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.  
1. Insert the cleaning tape. Press the PLAY button after the  
cleaning tape is fully loaded. The tape runs for 10 seconds  
at a time in the PLAY mode. (The tape stops automatically  
and then the unit enters the STOP MODE.)

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.  
Store videocassettes in a place with little humidity and good  
ventilation where mould does not form.  
Switch  
REC  
SAVE  
After a videocassette tape has been used repeatedly,  
it becomes unable to maintain full performance due to  
an increase in noise caused by dropouts, etc. Do not  
continue to use a dirty or damaged tape, as this will  
reduce the rotary head life.  
For recording and storing videotapes in the best condition  
Observe the following instructions for the best recording and  
Do not leave the videotapes neglected for a long period.  
storage of videotapes.  
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.  
Take care of the conditions of handling videotapes.  
It is recommended that you record and store videotapes in  
the environment below.  
Storage  
When tapes are not in use, store them in cases and on end.

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.  
“CONDENSATION ON DRUM” is displayed on the LCD  
monitor and in the viewfinder when condensation occurs in  
this unit.  
WARNING0201  
CONDENSATION ON DRUM  
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  
Keep the power on until the warning message disappears.  
Video tape  
Pay attention to condensation even before the condensation  
indication appears.  
As condensation forms gradually, the condensation  
indication may not appear for the first 10-15 minutes after  
condensation has formed inside.  
In an extremely cold place, the condensation could freeze  
and turn into frost. In such a case, it takes an additional 2-  
3 hours for the frost to first melt into condensation and  
then to be dissolved.  
Do not leave the videocassette inserted when moving the  
camera under conditions where the temperature  
environment changes.  
After moving the unit, do not use until the internal parts  
have stabilized.  
To prevent condensation when moving the unit from one place  
to another where the temperatures are greatly defferent, first  
remove the videocassette, place the unit in a tightly sealed  
vinyl bag, and then move it to a new environment.  
To ensure no condensation occurs, allow the temperature of  
the unit in the bag to reach that of the new environment before  
using it.  
1-7 Characteristic CCD Phenomena  
Smear and Blooming  
Moire or Aliasing  
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”).  
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.  
Shooting stripes or fine patterns may cause a jagged effect or  
a banding in fine mesh patterns.  
White dots  
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.  
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.

operating time is as follows:  
Battery operating time may differ depending on the age of  
the battery, charging conditions and the operating  
environment, etc. Use the values in the table on the left for  
approximate reference times.  
Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.  
Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens and  
LCD are used frequently.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK  
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.  
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.  
If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature  
raised immediately after use, recharging may not be  
performed completely.

5-5 Charging the Built-in Battery  
The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and time and the time code data. The built-in battery is constantly being  
charge whenever the GY-DV5000 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually discharges while the GY-DV5000 is disconnected  
from a power supply. The battery will be fully discharged when the GY-DV5000 is not used for about three months, in which case  
the set date and time and time code data are reset. In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the date and time and  
time code data again.  
However, it is possible to use the GY-DV5000 even if the bulit-in battery is discharged but the date and time and time code data  
cannot be recorded.

6-6 White Balance Adjustment  
Since the colour of light (colour temperature) varies depending on the light source, it is necessary to re-adjust the white balance  
when the main light source illuminating the subject changes.  
Note  
When a subject illuminated by a halogen lamp with a colour temperature of 3,200K is shot while the colour temperature  
conversion filter setting is set to 5,600K, 5,600K+1/8 ND, or 5,600K+1/64 ND, a proper white balance adjustment and (FAW)  
Full Time Auto White balance may not be accomplishable. In this case, change the colour temperature conversion filter setting  
to 3,200K and then carry out the white balance adjustment and (FAW) again.  
Do not adjust using any highly reflective objects, such as metal, etc., as this may result in improper white balance adjustment.  
Two kinds of white balance adjustment results can be stored in  
memories AUTO1 and AUTO2.

FULL-TIME AUTO WHITE BALANCE  
(FAW)  
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 colour or not enough white colour.  
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.  
The FAW function adjusts the white balance value  
automatically as the lighting condition changes.  
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.  
See CAMERA OPERATION menu screenon page 71.

Trial-shooting is always recommended before recording important events to confirm the recording is satisfactory.  
The microphone may pick up the sound of the lensiris if the iris is changed abruptly or the iris is manually moved abruptly  
during recording. If the sound is found annoying, please purchase an optional microphone in order to move the microphone  
away from the lens or ensure that the iris is not changed abruptly during shooting.

or the Stop mode.  
2. While pressing the STOP button, press the VTR trigger  
HEADER REC  
button.  
The tape automatically rewinds to the beginning, and  
HEADER REC operation starts from the beginning of the  
tape.  
After HEADER REC recording is performed for the  
specified duration only, the Record-Standby mode is  
engaged automatically.  
During HEADER REC  
During HEADER REC recording, HEADER RECis  
shown (blinking) on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder.  
MEMO:  
3. After HEADER REC recording is completed and the Record-  
Standby mode is engaged, normal recording starts when  
you press the VTR trigger button.  
To stop during HEADER REC operation, press the VTR  
trigger button or the Stop button.  
When the TC GENE switch is set to either PRESET REC  
or REGEN, the time code value at the start of the  
recording will be the time code value set on the HEADER  
REC menu screen.  
MEMO:  
FREE RUN:  
Continuous running.  
The HEADER REC menu screen cannot be opened during  
HEADER REC recording.  
HEADER REC operation is accepted even during loading  
of the cassette tape.  
The date and time recorded in the colour bar section will  
be in accordance with the settings for the DATE REC item  
on the TIME/DATE menu screen.  
REC RUN or REGEN: Runs only during REC.  
When the optional network pack KA-DV5000 is connected,  
the HEADER REC section is also recorded on the CF card  
when the MPEG REC item on the NETWORK PACK  
CONFIG menu screen is set to TRIG.  
When the HEADER REC section should not be recorded  
on the CF card, temporarily set the MPEG REC item to  
OFF.  
Date and time data are not written during recording of black  
video signals.  
The test tone (1 kHz sine-wave) recorded in the color bar  
section will be recorded unrelated to the setting for the  
TEST TONE item on the AUDIO menu screen.  
The time code preset on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen  
becomes invalid when HEADER REC recording is  
performed.  
The users bits following completion of HEADER REC  
recording will be the users bits value set on the TC/UB/  
CLOCK menu screen.  
For normal recording, make sure to set the MPEG REC  
item to TRIG or SPLIT.  
When the HEADER REC section is recorded on the CF  
card, make sure to set the users bits for the HEADER  
REC section and the normal recording section to the  
same value.  
This is because the thumbnail management utilizes the  
users bits values and different values will result in  
separation of the folder for management of the HEADER  
REC section and the normal recording section.  
The running of the time code following completion of  
HEADER REC recording will be in accordance with the  
setting of the TC GENE switch.

MEMO:  
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.  
Recording may not be possible in some cases even if the recorder is equipped with a DV terminal.

10-3 Recording Time Codes in Continuation of Time Codes Recorded on Tape  
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 users  
bit data are identical to the users bit data recorded on tape.  
However, approximately ±1-frame variations may occur in scene accuracy.  
To enable this function, set the time code related switches as follows before starting recording.

11-1Menu Screen Configuration  
The Menu Screen consists of multiple layers of menu screens as shown below. The menu screen to be set is selected from the TOP  
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.  
The FILE MANAGE menu screen can be used to store the menu setting contents in two types of files (FILE CAM1, FILE CAM2) on  
the GY-DV5000. When saving menu setting contents that remain more or less fixed, these are stored in FILE CAM1 or FILE CAM2.  
A saved file (FILE CAM1 or CAM2) can be read out on the FILE MANAGE menu screen.

It is also possible to use the ALC function that varies the gain  
automatically.  
A setting at 3dB corresponds to a decreased sensitivity  
equivalent to the brightness of a 1/2 filter.  
See page 71 for details.  
CAUTION:  
When gain is set to ALC, gain is boosted automatically  
as the illumination becomes darker. However, noise will  
increase a little because the screen becomes brighter as  
the ALC (Auto Level Control) function boosts the gain more  
than in the case of manual adjustment.  
The gain transition can be made smoother by selecting

screen.  
See page 71.  
However, note that the SMOOTH TRANS function is not  
available if gain is set to ALC.
