Head Cleaning

●

To maintain beautiful pictures and sound, be sure to use a

head cleaning tape to clean the head periodically. (Read the

separate sheet “Precautions for Use of Head CleaningTape”.)

If head cleaning is not performed periodically, a type of mosaic

noise called block noise may appear in the picture or sound

may be interrupted.

●

Use the provided head cleaning tape. Do not use head

cleaning tapes other than specified. For instructions on how

to use the head cleaning tape and precautions for its use,

read the separate sheet “Precautions for Use of Head

Cleaning Tape”.

●

When dirt adheres to the heads of the GY-DV700W, the

following indications appear during playback and recording

check using the RET button on the lens section.

•“RF”appears on the display panel.

•“HEAD CLOG”appears on the counter display.

•“VTR WARNING (HEAD)”appears in the viewfinder.

If this kind of indication appears, please stop the recording.

Head cleaning is required. This indicator disappears when

the POWER is turned OFF, or when the cleaning tape is

played back.

The GY-DV700W incorporates precision mechanical parts, which will collect dirt, wear out and deteriorate as the unit is used. On

the other hand, when the unit has been used for a long period in a normal environment, the heads, drums and tape transport

mechanisms also collect dirt deposited on them. Furthermore, dust which penetrates the inside of the VCR section especially

during outdoor use will promote the wear and deterioration of mechanical parts by causing poor contact between tape and heads

or failing to maintain the video and audio quality at high levels. To prevent wear and deterioration, clean the mechanical parts using

a head cleaning tape as routine maintenance. However, cleaning with a head cleaning tape alone is not enough for cleaning the

entire tape transport mechanism, it is also recommended to apply periodical maintenance (inspection) to prevent troubles that may

be caused by the sudden occurrence of failure. As the replacement, adjustment and servicing of parts require advanced skill and

equipment, please consult the person in charge of professional video equipment at your nearest JVC-authorized service agent.

●

When the unit is not in use, be sure to set the POWER switch

to OFF in order to reduce power consumption.

●

Cleaning the body:Wipe body with a dry, soft cloth.When it is

extremely dirty, soak the cloth in a solution of neutral

detergent, wring it out and then wipe.To prevent deformation

of the body, etc. and to avoid operation hazards, do not allow

volatile liquids such as benzine and thinner to touch the body,

and do not wipe it with a cloth soaked in such a liquid.

●

The camera may be unstable in the period immediately after

the power is turned on, but this is not a malfunction.

●

If a tape containing recorded NTSC signals is played back,

the GY-DV700W automatically enters the STOP mode. If this

happens, remove the videocassette so that the unit returns

to its normal state.

1-3 Routine and Periodical Maintenance

•The maintenance contents vary depending on the operating

environment and method. Therefore, the above data should be

considered as a reference.

Time management

The accumulated running time of the unit can be confirmed

with the hour meter display (which shows the accumulated drum

running time). For details, see "HOUR METER DISPLAY" on

page 92.

Make sure that the power is between 11 V and 15 V DC. If

the power voltage is too low, abnormal colour and increased

noise may occur. Do not exceed 15 V DC in any case, or the

unit could be damaged.

●

Allowable ambient temperature and humidity

Be sure to use the unit within the allowable temperature range

of 0°C to 40°C and a relative humidity of 30% to 80%. Using

the unit at a temperature or humidity outside the allowable

ranges could result not only in malfunction but the impact on

the CCD elements could be serious as small white spots

may be generated. When storing the GY-DV700W for a long

time, the storage temperatures should be -20°C to 60°C.

●

Strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism

Noise may appear in the picture or audio and/or the colours

may be incorrect if the camera is used near a radio or

television transmitting antenna, in places where strong

magnetic fields are generated by transformers, motors, etc.,

or near devices emitting radio waves, such as transceivers

or cellular phones.

●

Use of wireless microphone near the camera

When a wireless microphone or wireless microphone tuner

is used near the camera during recording, the tuner could

pick up noise.

●

Avoid using or placing the unit in places;

•subject to extreme heat or cold;

•with excessive dirt or dust;

•with high humidity or moisture;

•subject to smoke or vapour such as near a cooking stove;

•subject to strong vibrations or on an unstable surface.

•also do not leave the unit for long hours in a parked car

under direct sunlight or near room heating equipment.

●

Protect the unit from being splashed with water (especially

when shooting in the rain).

●

Protect the unit from being wet when shooting on a beach.

In addition, salt and sand may adhere to the camera body.

Be sure to clean the camera after use.

●

Protect the unit against penetration of dust when using it in a

place subject to sandy dust.

●

Optical performance of lens

Due to the optical performance of the lens, colour divergence

phenomena (magnification chromatic aberration) may occur

at the periphery of the image. This is not a camera

malfunction.

●

Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching between

the playback picture and the EE picture.

●

Use the unit in an upright position.

If placed on its side, heat release efficiency will deteriorate,

adversely affecting the tape transport. Depending on

circumstances the tape may also be damaged.

●

Vibrations

Colours may fail to appear during VCR playback in locations

subjected to vibrations.

●

Precautions for transportation

Do not drop or hit the unit against a hard object.

●

Remove the videocassette before transporting the unit.

●

Do not insert an object other than a videocassette in the

cassette insertion slot. Be sure to close the cassette cover

when the unit is not to be used for a long period

●

Do not set the POWER switch to OFF or remove the power

cable during recording or playback. Otherwise the tape may

be damaged.

●

As this camera is for designed for commercial use, the

reference recording level is set lower than for consumer-

oriented DV equipment.

●

Smear

(Vertical pale streaking

appearing at high

luminous object)

High luminous object

(Electric light, sunlight, etc.)

Blooming

(Blurring in highlight)

Smear and Blooming

Due to the physical structure of a CCD it is possible to induce

vertical streaking (called "smear") when shooting an extremely

bright light source. Another effect is the expansion of light around

a bright light or object (called "blooming").

The CCD employed in this unit is characterized by inducing

very little smear or blooming. Nevertheless, please be careful

when shooting a bright light source.

Moire or Aliasing

Shooting stripes or fine patterns may cause a jagged effect or

a banding in fine mesh patterns.

White dots

High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to malfunction

with the effect of white dots in the image. This condition is

conspicuous especially when gain is applied.

This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device (CCD).

As far as possible, use the unit under conditions where the

temperature of the unit does not increase.

1-8 Characteristic CCD Phenomena

Head drum

Video tape

REC

SAVE

Switch

The GY-DV700W can use any of the following battery packs.

●

Flat shape type

●

Anton-Bauer battery pack: Trimpack 13/14 Series

Magnum 13/14 Series

Compack 13/14 Series

Propack 13/14 Series

* An Anton-Bauer battery pack cannot be connected direct-

ly to the camera. It is necessary to mount the optional bat-

tery holder.

●

Battery holder: Anton-Bauer QRQ27

For details on how to mount the battery holder, see page

37.

●

If the unit has been cooled down in a cold place and is then

carried to a warm place, the moisture contained in the warm

air may adhere to the head drum or tape guides and be cooled

into water droplets. This phenomenon is referred to as

condensation (dewing).When this occurs, the head drum and

tape guides are covered with droplets allowing the tape to be

stuck to them, leading to tape damage.

●

Condensation occurs in the following cases:

●

When condensation occurs in this unit, the DEW indicator

on the display lights up, and the WARNING LED blinks red.

(See page 86)

To remedy, leave the unit with the power ON and wait until

the WARNING LED stops blinking red and the DEW indicator

disappears from the counter display.

•When the unit is suddenly

moved from a cold place to a

warm place.

•When a room heater has just

started or when the unit is

exposed directly to cold air from

an air conditioner.

1-6 Battery Pack to be Used

●

Use JVC’s videocassette tapes marked with MiniDV for

this unit.

Please use DVM60 or DVM30 type videocassettes.

●

Videocassettes cannot be used upside down.

●

Avoid storing a videocassette with unevenly wound tape,

as this may damage the tape. Rewind it to the beginning

before placing a cassette into storage.

●

Store videocassettes in a place with little humidity and good

ventilation where mould does not form.

●

After a videocassette tape has been used repeatedly, it

becomes unable to maintain full performance due to an

increase in noise caused by dropouts, etc.Do not continue

to use a dirty or damaged tape, as this will reduce the

rotary head life.

●Note that if an ME80 videocassette is used at low

temperatures, block noise tends to occur due to head

contamination.

To display the remaining battery power accurately, set the

VCR Setup Menu item No.396 BATTERY TYPE according

to the type of the battery pack in use. (See page 69)

1-4 Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape

Adhere to the following precautions when using the head cleaning tape.

1. The tape runs for 10 seconds at a time in the PLAY mode. (The tape stops automatically and then

the unit enters the SAVE MODE. However, the display back light is not turned off.)

Press the PLAY button after the cleaning tape is fully loaded.

2. Do not use the tape more than four times at the most for each cleaning.

3. The cleaning tape can be used approximately 100 times.

■Use the following chart as a guide for periodical head cleaning.

Operating Low temperature Room temperature High temperature

environment 0˚C to 10˚C 10˚C to 35˚C 35˚C to 40˚C

Yardstick for use 1 to 2 times 1 to 2 times 1 to 2 times

of cleaning tape every 5 hours every 20 to 30 hours every 5 hours

Note 1) When used in a low humidity environment (10% RH to 30% RH), head cleaning should be

conducted at intervals half of those given in the above chart.

Note 2) When an ME80 tape is used immediately after head cleaning, the VTR warning (head) indica-

tor may remain on. In this case, let the tape run as the indicator will turn off after the tape has

run for a while.

Note 3) Use the cleaning tape in the room temperature (10˚C to 35˚C).

Note 4) The cleaning tape case contains instructions for use of the cleaning tape. However, some of

these instructions differ from the contents of this sheet. When using the cleaning tape, please

follow the instructions of this sheet.

●WARNING indicator and TALLY lamp blink

●Viewfinder:

•BATT lamp and TALLY lamp blink

•"LOW BATTERY" character indication (Status 0 or Status

1 mode)

●Alarm sound beeps

After the remaining battery power warnings appear, the

GY-DV700W automatically stops operation if the battery

power operation is continued.

Operating Time with Battery Pack

When the VF-P116W is used as the viewfinder and a fully

charged battery pack is attached, the approximate continuous

operating time is as follows:

●Battery operating time may differ depending on the number

of times the battery has been charged, charging conditions

and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the

table on the left for approximate reference times.

●Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.

●Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens is used

frequently.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK

●When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a

cool, dry place.

Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be

subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car,

etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service

life.

●When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the

operating time will be shortened.

●If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even

immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery

pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.

Recharging

●Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it.

Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could

result in reduced battery capacity.

●If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete

recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge

the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the

battery capacity.

●If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature

raised immediately after use, recharging may not be

performed completely.
