3-71 -Connecting2 MoistureExternalCondensationEquipment

If you suddenly move the VTR from a cold location to a warm one, or use the VTR in a very humid place, moisture in the air can form on the head-drum or tape guide. This is called moisture condensation. If you play a tape under these conditions, the tape may adhere to the drum where moisture has collected and become damaged.

If moisture condenses on the head-drum while you are operating the VTR, the error message “ERROR-10” appears in the time data display section.

If “ERROR-10” appears immediately after turning the VTR on

Leave the VTR turned on and wait until the error message goes off. Inserting a cassette is not possible while the message is on.

When the error message disappears, you can use the VTR.

If you move the VTR from a cold to a warm location

Leave the VTR turned off for about ten minutes since some time is needed for the condensation-detection mechanism to work.

Maintenance 7 Chapter

When moisture condensation has occurred

When this error message appears, the drum and capstan motors stop and the cassette is automatically ejected. The drum then starts to rotate again to dry the surface of drum.

Once the moisture has evaporated, the error message disappears.
