Note About The Battery Terminal - Sony SRW-9000 Operation Manual

If "VTR: 007F HUMID ERROR" appears
immediately after you power the system on
Leave the system powered on, and wait for the
message to disappear. Cassettes cannot be
inserted while the message is visible.
Even if the VTR has no condensation, moisture
collected on tape may cause the tape to adhere to
the drum, which will damage the tape.
This unit can check whether the drum rotates at
the proper speed when it is started, so that tape
adhesion caused by moisture collected on tapes
can be detected. If tape adhesion is detected
during this process, the error message "SLACK-
50" or "SLACK-51" is displayed. In this case, the
VTR is in tape protection mode (see page 158).
Take out the inserted tape with reference to the
Maintenance Manual and check the tape, for
example, for moisture and adhesion of sticky
substances, or contact a Sony service
representative.
When you suddenly move the VTR from a cold
location to a warm one
Leave the VTR powered off for about 10 minutes,
since some time is needed for the condensation
detection mechanism to work.
