Regular maintenance
This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated compo-
nent continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, perform routine
maintenance using the head-cleaning tape.With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire
tape-winding mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.
Perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.
Regular maintenance
The tasks of maintenance involved are similar to that of replacing the engine oil or tire of a car.
Depending on the number of usage hours, inspect or replace the components as follows:
Number of hours 500H 1000H 1500H 2000H 4000H

ment and usage.The above infor-
mation serves only as a guide.
Usage Time : You can check the drum usage time with the hour meter display.
For details, refer to page 100, “Checking the hour meter.”
Maintenance consultation : For details on the maintenance plan and fee, consult with your
JVC-authorized service agent.
Head cleaning
• Recording or playing back with a dirty head
will result in block noise or disrupted sound.
Perform regular head cleaning to maintain su-
perior image and sound quality.
• For information on how to use the head clean-
ing tape and the relevant remarks, refer to
page 8, “Cleaning tape.”
• If the head is dusty, “HEAD CLEANING RE-
QUIRED!” will be displayed on the monitor
when this unit plays a tape.
HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!

●DVCAM cassette can be recorded in the DV
format.
●Tapes recorded in the DVCAM format can be
played (SP Mode).
●M-DV80 cassettes (Mini DV 80min tape) can-
not be used with this unit.
Remarks on the use of tape
●Do not load the videotape in the wrong direction.
●Store the tape only after it has been fully rewound, so as to avoid damaging the tape.
●Store the cassette in places low in humidity, well-ventilated and fungus-proof.
●When a cassette tape is used repeatedly, noise may increase due to e.g., dropout, etc. hence
affecting its performance. Do not use dirty or damaged tapes as they will shorten the life span of the
rotation head.
Notes
●Under low humidity conditions, (10% RH to
30% RH), perform head cleaning at intervals
of half of the periods stated in the table.
●If an M-DV80 tape is used immediately after
cleaning, the message, “HEAD CLEANING
REQUIRED!”) may not disappear. It does only
after the tape has run for some time.
●Use the cleaning tape at room temperature
(10˚C to 35˚C).
●Instructions for using the cleaning tape stated
on a sheet inside its storage case may be
different in part from those stated here.
Follow the instructions in this manual.

Condensation
• When this unit is moved from a cold to a warm
place abruptly, the vapor in the warm air will
come into contact with the head drum or the
tape guides, which are not warmed enough.
When chilled, the vapor turns into droplets of
water. This state is known as condensation.
When condensation occurs, the videotape
adheres to the head drum or the tape guides
and will be damaged.
• Condensation occurs on this unit in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
* It is moved abruptly from a cold place to a
warm place.
* It is used in a place immediately after the
heater has been turned on, or when cold
breeze from an air-conditioner blows onto it.
* It is used at a place of high humidity.
• When condensation occurs, the monitor dis-
plays the following warning:
When a cassette tape is loaded, do not trans-
port e.g., from a cold outdoor place to a warm
room thus subjecting the unit to drastic tem-
perature changes.
After moving the unit, do not use it until the
inner mechanism stabilizes.
Leave the unit with the power ON and wait
until the WARNING message disappears.
• Prevention of condensation
When transporting BR-DV6000 from a cold
to a warmer place abruptly, first remove the
cassette tape. Then place BR-DV6000 in a
plastic bag and seal it before transporting.
Take out BR-DV6000 from the sealed plastic
bag only after it has the same temperature
as the surroundings.
CONDENSATION ON DRUM
For recording and storing videotapes in the best condition
Observe the following instructions for the best recording and storage of videotapes.
• Take care of the conditions of handling videotapes.
It is recommended that you record and store videotapes in the environment below.
Storage
Recording Short period Long period
(Up to 10 years) (Over 10 years)
Temperature 17°C to 25°C15°C to 23°C15°C to 19°C
Humidity 30% to 70% 40% to 55% 25% to 35%
Hourly temperature change Less than 10°C– –
Hourly humidity change Less than 10% – –
• Do not leave the videotapes neglected for a long period.
If videotapes are left wound for a long period of time, it may result in distortion of the tape. Also it
may cause tape-to-tape adhesion (known as blocking). It is recommended that videotapes be
unspooled and rewound once a year for refreshing.
• When tapes are not in use, store them in cases and on end.
Storage cases protect videotapes from humidity, dust and ultraviolet. Keep tapes in cases and do
not store them lying flat. When housed in a horizontal position, pressure from other tapes can
cause distortions and deformations of the tape edges.
