If condensation forms, ejecting the cassette tape is the only operation which can be performed. Wait until the condensation dries up. (See page 60)

Q3: The remote control unit does not work.

A3-1: Has the battery in the remote control unit run down?

If the remote control unit fails to operate even when it is operated near the remote control sensor of the camera recorder, it means that the button battery has run down.
