Moisture condensation
If your VCR is brought directly from a cold place
to a warm place, moisture may condense inside
your VCR or on the surface of the tape. In this
condition, the tape may stick to the head drum
and be damaged or your VCR may not operate
correctly. If there is moisture inside your VCR,
the beep sounds and the % indicator flashes. If
the Z indicator flashes at the same time, a
cassette is inserted in your VCR.
If moisture condensation occurs
None of the functions except cassette ejection will
work. Eject the cassette, turn off your VCR, and
leave it for about 1 hour with the cassette
compartment open. Your VCR can be used again
if the % indicator does not appear when the
power is turned on again.
Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condense when you bring your
VCR from a cold place into a warm place (or vice
versa) or when you use your VCR in a hot place
as follows
– You bring your VCR from a ski slope into a
place warmed up by a heating device.
– You bring your VCR from an air-conditioned
car or room into a hot place outside.
– You use your VCR after a squall or a shower.
– You use your VCR in a high temperature and
humid place.
How to prevent moisture condensation
When you bring your VCR from a cold place into
a warm place, put your VCR in a plastic bag and
tightly seal it. Remove the bag when the air
temperature inside the plastic bag has reached
the surrounding temperature (after about 1
hour).
