About moisture condensation

If the unit or tape is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,
moisture may condense inside or outside the unit or tape. If you use the
tape or video heads in this condition, the tape may adhere to the head
drum, and the video heads or the tape may be damaged, or malfunction
may occur.
Moisture condensation is likely to occur under the following conditions:
• The unit is brought from the cold outdoors to a warm indoor
location.
• The unit is brought from the air-conditoned indoors to the hot
outdoors.
• The unit is used in a place subject to cold currents from an air
conditioner.
When bringing the unit from a cold place to a warm place or vice versa,
put it in a plastic bag and seal the bag tightly. After bringing it into the
new place, leave the bag on for about an hour, and remove the bag
when the air temperature inside it has reached the temperature
surrounding it.
If moisture condensation occurred
You cannot operate the unit except to press 6 EJECT. If you insert a
cassette, it is ejected automatically. If this occurs, turn on the power,
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
