Moisture Condensation
When the unit is suddenly moved
from a cold to a warm location, or
used in a very humid place, moisture
from the air can condense on the head-
drum. This is called moisture
condensation. If the tape is run in this
state, it can adhere to the drum. To
prevent such a condition from
occurring, the unit is provided with a
moisture detecting function.
If moisture condenses on the head-
drum while the unit is in use,
"ERROR-10" is displayed in the
submenu screen.
If this happens, the drum and capstan
motors stop. Then, the drum starts to
rotate again to dry its surface. In this
state, the unit is not operable. When
the moisture has evaporated, the error
message disappears and the
WARNING indicator goes out.

Appendixes
If "ERROR-10" appears and the
WARNING indicator lights
immediately after powering the
unit on
Leave the unit powered on and wait
until the indicator goes out.
While the indicator is lit, you cannot
insert a cassette.
When the indicator goes out and the
error message disappears, you can use
the unit.
If you move the unit from a cold
to a warm location
Leave the unit powered off for about
10 minutes, in order to give the unit
time to detect moisture condensation.
If you move the tape from a cold
to a warm location
There may be moisture condensation
on the tape. Wait until the tape
warms.
