1) Condensation: If the unit is suddenly moved from a
cold to a warm location, or used in a hot room,
moisture from the air can condense on the head
drum. This is called condensation, and if the tape
runs in this condition, the tape may stick to the
drum, in which case it is highly likely to be
damaged.
