I Caution concerning condensation
I
Be careful of condensation
Condensation is the moisture that forms on the outside of a
glass when you fill it with cold water. Condensation can also
form inside a VCR when it is suddenly moved from a cold
place to a warm, humid one, or when a heater has been turned
on to quickly heat the room.
Particular care must be taken with your VCR because water
particles that form on the video head drum, which is the main
VCR mechanism, can cause the video tape to stick to the
drum. This prevents proper tape travel and may damage both
tape and mechanism.
Follow the procedures below the first time you use the
VCR, and whenever you use it in places which are subject
to condensation:
OConnect
the aerial cable and make all other necessary
connections.
@Plug the power cord into a wall socket.
OTum
on the VCR power to warm it up and speed up the
drying of any water particles that may have formed on the
video head drum.
O Do not insert a video cassette.
It takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to completely eliminate
condensation. Wait at least this long before using the
VCR.
