7-1 Basic Recording Operation
1.
Set the POWER switch to ON.
Power is supplied to the unit.
Check that the condensation indicator "DEW" does not
appear on the display. If it is lit, wait until the indicator goes
out.
2.
Set the VTR switch to the STBY position.
Even when the VTR switch is set to the "SAVE" position,
pressing the VTR trigger button will start recording.
However, in this case, it is necessary to wait a short time
until the recording actually starts.
For details on the VCR SAVE mode, see page 52.
3.
Slide the EJECT switch to open the cassette cover.
• Ensure that the switch on the back of the videocassette
is set to REC and insert the cassette correctly.
When the cassette is inserted, the tape is loaded and
the unit enters the record-pause mode.
• Slowly close the cassette cover.
• Use a videocassette marked MiniDV.
• If the cassette cover is not closed, the GY-DV500 will
remain inoperative.
• At the loading time and power switch set to on time,
the built-in head cleaner will emit a sound while
operating. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• After the cassette cover is closed, it takes about 8
seconds before the unit is ready for recording.
