2. 1.
1.
Turn the POWER switch to ON.
The power is then supplied to the unit.
Video image is output to the viewfinder.
The display of the VCR section is turned on.
2.
Select the GY-DV500 operation mode with the VTR switch.
The GY-DV500 operation mode may differ when the power is turned ON and when the cassette is loaded depending on the
setting of the VTR switch as follows:
VTR switch setting
SAVE
STBY
GY-DV500 operation mode
GY-DV500 enters the SAVE mode (tape protect mode) and stops the drum motor. "SAVE" is
displayed in the VCR operation indicating section of the Status 1 mode screen in the viewfinder.
In this mode, the tape is effectively protected.
In this condition, press the VTR trigger button to start recording. However, it takes longer for
the operation to take place from this condition than from the STBY mode.
When a recordable videocassette is loaded, the GY-DV500 enters the record-pause mode
automatically. (The drum motor is still rotating.)
"STBY" is displayed on the Status 1 screen in the viewfinder.
In this condition, pressing the VTR trigger button starts recording immediately.
5-1 Turning the Power ON
CAUTION:
Wait at least 5 seconds before turning the power ON again once it has been turned OFF.
When the power is turned OFF, the unit automatically enters the tape protect mode. It takes approximately 5 seconds to enter
the tape protect mode. Do not turn the power ON again within this interval.
