The unit can display the accumulated running time of the head drum as hour meter data on the counter display. The hour meter can be displayed by selecting HM (HOUR METER) on the VCR Setup Menu. Use this as a guide for periodical maintenance.

See page 8.

Symptoms Power cannot be switched ON.

Operation buttons on the GY-DV550 don't work.

Recording is not possible. Noise interferes with playback video.

Remedy

• Is power supply connected properly?

• Is battery pack recharged?

• When the lithium battery is depleted, it may not be possible to turn on the power.

• Was the power turned ON immediately after being turned OFF?

Wait at least 5 seconds before turning the power ON again once it has been turned

OFF.

• Check whether the VCR Setup Menu item No. 050 REMOTE SELECT has been set

to "IEEE1394" or "RS232C". If so, change the setting to "LOCAL".

• Is the cassette cover open?

The GY-DV550 remains inoperative as long as the cassette door is open.

• Is switch on cassette set to REC? If it is set to SAVE, set it to REC.

• Video head may be clogged with dirt. Clean head with the special head cleaning

tape. (See "Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape" on page 8.)
