MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Condensation inside the Model 28’s VCR can cause tape jams or video head damage. When the Model 28’s automatic dew sensor senses moisture, DEW appears on the TV screen and the Model 28 will not play a tape.
If DEW appears on the TV screen, or when you move your Model 28 from a cold area to a warm one, unplug the Model 28 and let it sit for about 2 hours, or until DEW no longer appears when you plug it in. This allows complete evaporation of any moisture inside the Model 28.
