About the Owner’s Manual

First of all, read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” (DV-7 Instruction

Manual, Basic Operation, page 2) and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (DV-7 Instruction Manual, Basic

Operation, page 4). Then read “DV-7PR Owner’s Manual”.

The DV-7PR holds both functions for Presenter, where you can playback/switch your video clips,

and for Editor, where you can edit the video clips. To control Presenter, read “DV-7PR Owner’s

Manual”, and to control Editor, read “DV-7 Instruction Manual, Basic Operation/Advanced

Operation” and “DV-7/DV-7R version 1.5, Additional functions”.

The structure of this owner’s manual is as follows.

Introduction

Introduces safety instructions before using the unit, the front panel and rear panel of the unit, and

some installation and connection examples.

Preparation

Introduces the general flow to control the unit, names and functions on the control panel, and

instructions on how to playback the video clips.

Operation

Introduces how to control the unit with external devices, and closer instructions for other functions

of the unit.

Specifications

Introduces MIDI implemanation charts, specifications and other information of the unit.

When using the unit for the first time

• When using the unit for the first time, refer to “Operation flow” (p. 21) to learn about

the general flow of operation. This section explains the operation from turning on the

power, to playing back and importing the preinstalled material, for you to understand

how to use the unit more easily.

• To operate this unit, you mainly use the mouse and keyboard while watching the

monitor display. Whenever you get confused while operating the unit, refer to “Part

names and functions” (p. 9), to identify buttons or items and so on.

• All material on this unit are imported to and edited by Editor. When using Editor, refer

to the DV-7 Instruction Manual.

Preparation

Other precautions

About the hard disk

The DV-7PR uses all visual and system data stored to the internal hard disk memory. This hard disk

is of a consumable structure, and its longevity may be unexpectedly shortened depending on how

you use it. To prevent loss of your valuable composition, be adviced to follow the instructions below.

• Backup your projects to a video tape, or to a removable hard disk (DV-HD series, sold

separately).

• Refrain from unneccesary video playback so as to reduce access to the hard disk.

• If transported frequently, save projects to a removable hard disk (DV-HD series, sold

separately), and send it separately in its original box.

For information regarding the installation of the removable hard disk (DV-HD series), refer to the

DV-7 Instruction Manual, Basic Operation, page 5-4 “Using the removable hard disk”.

About shortcut keys

The shortcut keys of your DV-7PR keyboard shortcut can be changed as desired. In the “DV-7

Instruction Manual, Basic Operation/Advanced Operation” you can learn about the keyboard

shortcuts set to the [Ctrl] key. If you changed the shortcut keys at the System Preferences dialog box,

read the explanations according to your customized settings.

About the DV-7C template

The DV-7C template is supplied with this unit as a guidance to functions assigned to controls on the

separately sold DV-7C, if you wish to use it to control Presenter. First peel off the sheet on the reverse

of the template, stick it to the DV-7C control panel, and peel of the film on the cover.
