However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

Care of the videocassette player (VCP)
Environmental extremes
Videocassette players subjected to harsh environmental conditions may
be damaged or perform at less than maximum capability. To avoid these
outcomes, avoid leaving the VCP:
• in extremely hot or cold temperatures.
• in direct sunlight.
• in high humidity.
• in a dusty environment.
• in locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.
• on a surface that is instable or subject to vibrations.
Temperature extremes
When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold
place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the
vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.
High/low temperature sensor circuit
• Excessively high or low temperatures may cause damage to the VCP.
• When the temperature of the VCP becomes too high or low, the
temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation, ejects the cassette
and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The lamp will remain illuminated
until the system has returned to a safe operating temperature.
Humidity and moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense in the VCP under extremely humid
conditions or when moving from a cold place to a warm one. Moisture
condensation on the tape playback head drum may damage the
videocassette and/or drum. If moisture condensation occurs, do not
insert a videocassette into the player. If a videocassette is already in the
player, remove it. Turn the VCP power ON to dry the moisture before
inserting a videocassette. This could take an hour or more.
