MOISTURE CONDENSATION
¬
At room temperature, if you
pour ice water into a glass,
water vapor will condense on
the surface of the glass.
This moisture is condensation.
The moisture condensation may
occur inside of VCP’s. If used
in this condition, it will cause
damage to the head and the
tape.
-
Moisture condensation may
occur when the VCP is moved
from a cold place to a heated
place, the temperature of
surroundings goes up due to the
heat being switched on, or moving
the VCP suddenly from an air
conditioned room to a place of
high humidity.
®
When the moisture
condensation occurs inside the
VCP, NEVER insert the tape
into the cassette compartment.
Remove the cassette, if
loaded, by pressing the
STOP/EJECT button. Only
operate the VCP after the
moisture has completely dries
out. This normally takes about
1 hour.
