1. INTRODUCTION  
1-2 Routine and Periodical Maintenance  
The GY-DV5100 incorporates precision mechanical parts, which will collect dirt, wear out and deteriorate as the unit is used. After  
the unit has been used for a long period even in a normal environment, the heads, drums and tape transport mechanisms also  
collect dirt. Especially, dust which penetrates the inside of the VCR section 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, so it is also recommended  
to apply periodical maintenance (inspection) to prevent 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.  
Head Cleaning  
Periodical Maintenance  
Contents : Check or replace the following mechanical parts  
according to the running time.  
To maintain beautiful pictures and sound, be sure to use a  
head cleaning tape to clean the head periodically. (Read the  
“Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape”.) 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.

Please use cleaning tape produced by JVC. Do not use head  
cleaning tapes other than specified. Read the precautions  
and instructions for use of the head cleaning tape.  
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 100.  
When dust adheres to the heads, the warning message  
“HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” is displayed on the LCD  
monitor and in the viewfinder during playback, edit search,  
and recording check using the RET button on the lens section.  
For consultations related to the maintenance planning or  
cost, please contact the person in charge of professional  
video equipment at your nearest JVC-authorized service  
agent.  
1-3 Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape  
Please use cleaning tape produced by JVC.  
Adhere to the following precautions when using the head  
cleaning tape.  
Note 1) When used in a low humidity environment, head cleaning  
should be conducted at intervals half of those given in  
the below chart.  
Note 2) If an ME80 tape is used immediately after head cleaning,  
the “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” indicator 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.  
Note 5) If the “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” does not  
disappear after repeated head cleanings, the recording  
tape may be abnormal. Avoid excessive repeated use of  
the head cleaning tape.  
1. Insert the cleaning tape. Press the PLAY button after the  
cleaning tape is fully loaded. The tape runs for 10 seconds  
at a time in the PLAY mode. (The tape stops automatically  
and then the unit enters the STOP MODE.)  
2. Do not use the tape more than four times at the most for  
each cleaning.

1-6 Condensation  
2-1 Front Section  
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 ON DRUM” is displayed on the LCD  
monitor and in the viewfinder when condensation occurs in  
this unit.

Smear and Blooming  
Moire or Aliasing  
Shooting stripes or fine patterns may cause a jagged effect or  
a banding in fine mesh patterns.  
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“).

White dots  
The CCD employed in this unit is characterized by inducing  
very little smear or blooming. Nevertheless, please take note

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.

5-5 Charging the Built-in Battery  
The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and time and the time code data. The built-in battery is constantly being  
charge whenever the GY-DV5100 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually discharges while the GY-DV5100 is disconnected  
from a power supply. The battery will be fully discharged when the GY-DV5100 is not used for about three months, in which case  
the set date and time and time code data are reset. In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the date and time and  
time code data again.  
However, it is possible to use the GY-DV5100 even if the bulit-in battery is discharged but the date and time and time code data  
cannot be recorded.

It is only necessary to perform this when the lens is attached  
for the first time or when focusing is not correct in both the  
telephoto and wide-angle positions.  
Since the color of light (color temperature) varies depending on the light source, it is necessary to re-adjust the white balance when  
the main light source illuminating the subject changes.  
Note  
3. 4.6. 5.  
When a subject illuminated by a halogen lamp with a color temperature of 3,200K is shot while the color temperature conversion  
filter setting is set to 5,600K, 5,600K+1/8 ND, or 5,600K+1/64 ND, a proper white balance adjustment and (FAW) Full TimeAuto  
White balance may not be accomplishable. In this case, change the color temperature conversion filter setting to 3,200K and  
then carry out the white balance adjustment and (FAW) again.  
It is easier to adjust back focus when the subject is more  
than 3 meters from the camera.  
The optimal subject for this adjustment is a Siemens star  
chart.  
Do not adjust using any highly reflective objects, such as metal, etc., as this may result in improper white balance adjustment.

FULL-TIME AUTOWHITE BALANCE (FAW)  
The FAW function adjusts the white balance value  
automatically as the lighting condition changes.  
CAUTION:  
The FAW (Full-timeAuto White balance) function cannot  
provide optimum white balance with a subject outside  
the FAW adjustment range, for example when it contains  
only a single color or not enough white color.  
The accuracy of the FAW (Full-timeAuto White balance)  
is inferior to that of the Auto white balance.  
When the power is turned on with the FAW mode  
selected, it takes about 10 seconds for the FAW  
adjustment to be completed. Do not shoot within this  
interval.  
This mode is convenient when you have no time to adjust the  
white balance or when the camera is moved frequently in and  
out of places under different lighting conditions.  
Setting procedure  
The FAW function can be activated with the FAW item on the  
CAMERAOPERATION menu screen. The FAW function can  
be allocated to one of the white balance switching switches  
A, B, or PRESET.
