The GY-DV5100 displays messages on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder in the case of improper operation, notices on
remaining battery power and tape and warnings in the case of abnormalities during VCR operation.
Also, when remaining tape or battery power becomes small, or in the case of abnormalities during VCR operation, the TALLY lamps and
viewfinder lamp will blink (or light steadily), and alarm sound will be output through the monitoring loudspeaker or the PHONES jack.
