If
you pour
a cold
liquid
into a
glass,
water
vapor
in the air will
condense on the surface of the
glass.
This is moisture conden-
sation. Moisture condensation
on the head
drum,
one of the
most crucial
parts
of the
unit,
will cause
damage
to the
tape.
When the VCP is
exposed
to a
rapid temperature
change
from
cold to
warm,
some condensa-
tion will occur. Under this condi-
tion,
connect the
power
cord to
the AC
line,
press
OPERATE
button on and allow at least two
hours for the VCP to
dry
out.
Condensation
is
likely
to
occur when
1. The video unit is moved from
a cold room to a warm room
or from outdoors to inside
your
home.
2. A cold room is heated
quickly.
3. The
humidity
is
very
high.
