MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when
you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or
under extremely humid conditions—just as water
droplets form in the surface of a glass fi lled with
cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum
will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where
condensation may occur, keep the unit turned on for
a few hours to let the moisture dry.
ATTENTION
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may
cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change
the screen to a blue back display.
On placing the unit:
Some TVs or other appliances generates strong
magnetic fi elds. Do not place such appliance on top
of the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.

Video heads cleaning

The heads get dirty in the following cases:
• in an environment prone to extreme temperature or
humidity
• in a dusty environment
• fl aw, dirt or mold on video tapes
• continuous usage for a long time
Use a dry cleaning cassette — ECL-3F — when:
• Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played
back.
• The picture is unclear or no picture appears.
• “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the
