1. Set the POWER switch to DC IN/BATT and turn the OPERATE 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 SAVE mode, see page 55.

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-DV550 will remain inoperative.

Following loading of the cassette and when the OPERATE switch is turned ON/OFF, 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.

4.Set the switches as required.
