been searching the internet for some kind of user guide for the venerable BVW-75 Betcam SP deck

i found a service manual but no user guide, don't suppose anyone here has a PDF copy i could download?

thanks!

Here's one for the NTSC version. The sample pages are watermarked, and it looks like you can view them all. I didn't click download though, so I don't know if you have to register or pay...

If you have a specific question, my machines are sitting right beside me... (BVW-70 and BVW-65).

And there's this site, with relatively recent activity:

A Google drive resource shows up in the search, too.

Good luck!
