About moisture condensation…
•You may have observed that pouring a
cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of
water to form on the glass’ outer surface.
This same phenomenon occurs on the
head drum of a camcorder when it is
moved from a cool place to a warm place,
after heating a cold room, under
extremely humid conditions or in a place
directly subjected to the cool air from an
air conditioner.
•Moisture on the head drum can cause
severe damage to the video tape, and can
lead to internal damage to the camcorder
itself.
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
