•Do not leave the videotapes neglected for a long period.

If videotapes are left wound for a long period of time, it may result in distortion of the tape. Also it may cause tape-to-tape adhesion (known as blocking). It is recommended that videotapes be unspooled and rewound once a year for refreshing.

•When tapes are not in use, store them in cases and on end.

Storage cases protect videotapes from humidity, dust and ultraviolet. Keep tapes in cases and do not store them lying flat. When housed in a horizontal position, pressure from other tapes can cause distortions and deformations of the tape edges.

Condensation

•When this unit is moved from a cold to a warm place abruptly, the vapor in the warm air will come into contact with the head drum or the tape guides, which are not warmed enough. When chilled, the vapor turns into droplets of water. This state is known as condensation. When condensation occurs, the videotape adheres to the head drum or the tape guides and will be damaged.

•Condensation occurs on this unit in the fol- lowing circumstances:

*It is moved abruptly from a cold place to a warm place.

*It is used in a place immediately after the heater has been turned on, or when cold breeze from an air-conditioner blows onto it.

*It is used at a place of high humidity.

Head drum

Videotape

•When condensation occurs, the monitor dis- plays the following warning:

CONDENSATION ON DRUM

Leave the unit with the power ON and wait until the WARNING message disappears.

•Prevention of condensation

When transporting BR-DV6000 from a cold to a warmer place abruptly, first remove the cassette tape. Then place BR-DV6000 in a plastic bag and seal it before transporting.

Take out BR-DV6000 from the sealed plastic bag only after it has the same temperature as the surroundings.

When a cassette tape is loaded, do not trans- port e.g., from a cold outdoor place to a warm room thus subjecting the unit to drastic tem- perature changes.

After moving the unit, do not use it until the inner mechanism stabilizes.
