Splash Screen will appear as follows:  
Use the MENU and SOFT KEYS on the  
DR-DV5000 front panel to navigate and

GETTING STARTED  
Once DR-DV5000 has been mounted to a  
camcorder, a power source has been provided  
and the FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD has been  
inserted, it is now possible to prepare DR-  
DV5000 for use. When powered up for the  
first time, the DR-DV5000 LCD will display

If a FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD comes from  
the factory, it should be configured and ready  
to use. If the message “No Disk Detected”  
appears, ensure you have a FSHDD-1  
FireWire HDD inserted properly. If the  
message “No Format Detected” appears, you  
will first need to partition and format the  
inserted drive. DR-DV5000 will prompt you  
through the steps required to perform a  
format. WARNING: Formatting will erase  
all data on disk!  
scroll through the MENU items. Pressing the  
“SEL” soft key will open a SUB-MENU for  
particular menu items that have a right

Functions in the DR-DV5000 MENU include:  
File Identification Naming and  
Scene Marking  
RECORD MODES:  
DR-DV5000 files are identified by TRACK  
and VOLUME (disk drive) number on the  
LCD. For instance, a file on the DR-DV5000  
LCD identified as 1-043 is clip number 43 on  
Volume (disk) 1.  
NORMAL RECORD - DR-DV5000 front  
panel or remote control trigger of record.  
RETRO DISK - Constantly buffers video in a  
loop to a determined amount of space on the  
HDD so that when record is triggered, a retro  
time period can be added to the beginning of  
any clip.  
RETRO CACHE - Same as above, but utilizes  
a 10 second data buffer to cache video instead  
of the HDD.  
On a computer, files are identified by their  
base file name made up of DATE and TIME.  
For instance, a clip named 20030615-210943-  
01.mov is a clip that began recording at  
9:09:43PM on June 15th. 2003.  
LOOP RECORD- Allows video to be recorded  
while in normal record modes as an endless  
loop on available HDD space.

a single frame of video being recorded to disk.

setup menu.  
DUMP TO DISK - Allows contents of tape in

DUMP TO TAPE - Allows contents of the  
HDD to be automatically recorded to tape in

Clips can also be organized into pre-named  
folders on the disk drive using the Scene  
Marking feature. If a clip has been Scene  
Marked, it will be displayed in brackets  
(e.g. <XXXXXX>) above the soft key labels  
on the LCD. Mark clips during REC, STOP  
or PLAY modes using the supplied remote  
commanders or by pressing SHFT+DISP.  
While holding SHFT, press DISP to scroll  
through available folders. At the close of a

allows clips that have been recorded to disk to  
be immediately available to a non-linear editing  
(NLE) system’s timeline without having to  
capture, transfer or convert the files first.  
After a recording is complete, remove the  
FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD (or external  
FireWire HDD) from DR-DV5000.  
With DTE supported NLEs, it is possible to  
select IMPORT file and make the entire disk  
content immediately available to the NLE  
timeline. Note: Avid users will need to follow  
some additional steps. See the DR-DV5000

DR-DV5000 RECORD AND CONTROL LCD AND CAMCORDER VIEWFIDER  
DISPLAY MODES  
When used with a JVC GY-DV5000 series camcorder, it is possible to monitor DR-DV5000 status  
in the camcorder’s viewfinder (EVF) and on the LCD display. When DR-DV5000 is connected to
