Operating Precautions
About Dewing
In case of dew detection {excessive moisture in the unit), the safety device will operate to protect the cassette tape and video
head from damage.
In case of dew detection
The "DEW" message blinks, and buzzer sounds continuously
iwhen BUZZER switch is ON.) To stop the buzzer, turn the
BUZZER switch off.
Take out the video cassette
Wait until the "DEW" message goes out with the POWER
switch turned "ON". It may take a few hours, although it
depends upon conditions.
*
* Dew accumulation is similar to the phenomenon that occurs
when water gathers on a window glass of a heated room
during the winter season.
If the VCR operates in dewing condition, the tape and video
head will be damaged.
Dewing ts likely to occur:
• When the VCR is rapidly moved from a cold place to warm
place.
* in rooms immediately after being heated or in places sub­
jected directly to cold air from an air-conditioner.
• In summer, when the VCR is rapidly moved from a cooled
room or car to a hot, humid place.
* In very humid rooms.
