• WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the
glass. This is called moisture condensation.
• MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;
• When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place,
• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
• WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,
"DEW" appears on the screen and all the function buttons except the EJECT button (or the STOP/EJECT
button on the unit) are made non-operational to protect the video heads. In this case, eject the video cassette,
leave the unit turned on and let it remain at room temperature until moisture condensation disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.
