About Moisture
Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a
warm place, moisture may condense on the video
head drum. If this happens, the tape may stick to
the head drum and it may be damaged or the unit
may not operate correctly. To avoid possible
damage caused by moisture condensation, be sure
not to leave a cassette inside the compartment
when the unit is not in use. When bringing the unit
from a cold place to a warm place, wait for about
10 minutes before operating it.
If the tape operation buttons do not work due to
moisture condensation, leave the unit for more
than one hour with the power on.
