When a recordable videocassette is loaded, the GY-DV500
enters the record-pause mode. However, the record-pause
operation condition differs depending on the setting of the VTR
switch.
● VTR switch setting
STBY : The GY-DV500 enters the record-pause mode, and
the drum is rotating at this time. (Standby mode)
The "STBY" indicator appears in the VCR operation
status display in the viewfinder (in Status 1 mode).
• In this condition, recording starts immediately when
the VTR trigger button is pressed.
SAVE : The GY-DV500 enters the record-pause mode but
the drum is not rotating. (Save mode).
The tape is protected.
The "SAVE" indicator appears in the viewfinder (in
Status 1 mode).
The OPERATE indicator lights orange. The display
backlight turns off.
Recording from the Save mode
● In the save mode, pressing the VTR trigger button will start
recording.
However, in this case, it takes several seconds before the
GY-DV500 starts recording.
● Pressing the VTR trigger button again interrupts the recording
and the GY-DV500 enters the save mode again.
When the GY-DV500 has remained in record-pause (standby)
mode for about 30 minutes, the unit enters the save mode, in
which the drum rotation is stopped automatically and the tape
tension is released. (Save mode)
Ⅲ To start recording from the save mode, press the VTR trigger
button; the drum starts to rotate and recording starts in about
3 seconds.
Ⅲ To return to the record-pause mode from the save mode,
press the VTR trigger button TWICE; the drum starts to rotate.
7-2 VCR Save Mode
7-3 If Unit is Left in Record-Pause (Standby) Mode
• The time until the unit enters the save mode after it is
placed in record-pause mode can be set to 3 minutes or
30 minutes with the VCR Setup Menu item No. 307 LONG
PAUSE TIME.
When used in a cold environment, the setting will be 3
minutes regardless of the setting on the VCR Setup
Menu.
☞ See page 69.
Note:
When the VCR Setup Menu item No. 396 SSF MODE is
set to the CUE MODE or MARK mode, the VCR save
mode is not entered.
