GY-DV500 enters the SAVE mode (tape protect mode) and stops the drum motor. "SAVE" is
displayed in the VCR operation indicating section of the Status 1 mode screen in the viewfinder.
In this mode, the tape is effectively protected.
In this condition, press the VTR trigger button to start recording. However, it takes longer for
the operation to take place from this condition than from the STBY mode.
When a recordable videocassette is loaded, the GY-DV500 enters the record-pause mode
automatically. (The drum motor is still rotating.)
"STBY" is displayed on the Status 1 screen in the viewfinder.
In this condition, pressing the VTR trigger button starts recording immediately.
