MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Condensation inside the TV/VCR can cause tape jams or video head damage. When you first install your TV/VCR, or when you move it from a cold area to a warm one, let it sit for about 2 hours before you plug it in and begin operation. This allows complete evaporation of any mois- ture inside the TV/VCR that could damage it.

Caution: Do not use your TV/VCR in areas of high humidity.
