0)At room temperature, if you pour ice water into a glass, water vapour in the air will condense on the surface of the glass.
This is moisture condensation.
The moisture condensation may occur inside of VCPs. 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 heated place, the temperature of surroundings goes up due to the heat being switched on, or moving the VCP suddenly from air conditioned room to a place of high humidity.
@When the moisture condensation occurs inside of the VCP, NEVER insert the cassette tape into the cassette compartment.
Remove the cassette, if loaded, by pressing the STOP/EJECT button. Only operate the VCP after the moisture condensation has com- pletely dried out. This normally takes about 1 hour.
