What is condensation?
If you pour cold beer in a glass, water droplets gather on the surface of the glass. This phenomenon is known as condensation.
When condensation occurs.
If you continue to use the video device in this state, the tape will cling to the internal parts of the VCR, causing damage to the tape and video heads.
Remove the cassette tape.
With the POWER switch ON, wait until the Dew display stops blinking.
This may take several hours depending on surrounding conditions.
Times when condensation occurs.
•When the video device has been suddenly transferred from a cold place to a warm place.
•When using the device in a room where the heating has just been turned on or exposed directly to the cold air from an air conditioner.
When the device is suddenly transported from an air- conditioned room or vehicle to a place with high tempera- ture and humidity in summer.
•When used in a room with high humidity where steam is rising, for example.
