Condensation - Panasonic AJ-D200P Operating Instructions Manual

Condensation
Condensation
may
form
on
the
head
cylinder
when
the
unit
is
moved
from a
cold
location into
a
warm
room
or
when
it
is
operated
in
a
humid
environment.
The
principle
behind
this
phenomenon
is
the
same
as
when
droplets
of
water form on
the
window panes
of
a heated room.
These
droplets are
called
condensation.
If
the tape
is
made
to travel
when
condensation has
formed,
the
head
cylinder
and
tape
may
be damaged.
Take
the
following
precautions regarding condensation:
• Before
inserting the cassette tape, set the
power
switch
to
ON, and
check
that the
VTR LED
or
TALLY LED
is
not lighted or flashing
and
that
the
HUMID
display
is
not
lighted
on
the
display panel.
• Whenever
possible,
avoid operating the
unit
in
situations
where
condensation
is
likely to
form.
•
When
the unit
is
to
be moved, remove
the cassette tape before
moving
it.
•
If
the
HUMID
display flashes while the
cassette tape
is
already loaded, take the following
steps.
1.
Turn on
the
power.
2.
Press
the
EJECT
button
to eject
the cassette
tape.
3.
Wait
until
the
HUMID
display stops flashing.
4.
Once
the
HUMID
display
has stopped
flashing, insert
the cassette tape
and
run
It.
5.
Check
that
no
trouble occurs.
