Panasonic TC-W21 - Manual (Page 72)

When a dew condensation
phenomenon occurs, indication of
“dew condensation” appears and the
cassette tape is ejected, indication of
“dew condensation" ceases soon.
When you want to operate the VCR,
push the “COUNTER CALL” button
and wait for a while until the said
indication ceases.
While “dew condensation" is
indicated, the VCR does not work
even if you push any operation
buttons, but you can watch the TV.
Indication of “dew condensation” will
cease within several hours at latest.
Such time may differ according to
circumstances.
As generally dew condensation
advances gradualiy, and indication of
“dew condensation” may appear 10-
15 minutes after the beginning of dew
condensation.
Conditions which cause dew
condensation are as follows.
It may occur if the TVA/CR and the
cassette tape were moved to another
place where there are great changes
of temperature and humidity.
• A humid place where the air is thick
with steam.
• When the TVA/CR was suddenly
moved from an air-conditioned
room to a hot and humid place.
• The room was heated quickly.
When the rotary cylinder is stained
with condensation droplets, the tape
may adhere to the rotary cylinder. It
may interfere with normal forwarding
of the tape and the tape may be
damaged.
