into the set.

– If the set does not operate normally When

following the operating instructions, adjust only
those controls that are specified in the

other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the set to normal
operation.

– If the set has been exposed to rain or water.

– When the set exhibits a distinct change in

performance, this indicates a need for service.

attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point
where the cord exits from the appliance.

– Do not place the set over a radiator or heat

register, or where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.

In the normal temperature, if you
pour a cold liquid into a glass,
water vapour in the air will
condense on the surface of the
glass.
This is moisture condensation.
The moisture condensation may
occur inside of VCPs, if used in this
condition, it will cause damage to
the head and the tape.

In case of moving the VCP from a
cold place to heated place.
Or the temperature of surroundings
goes up due to room heating

high temperature of humidity in
summer.

When the moisture condensation
occurs inside of the VCP, NEVER
insert the cassette into the cassette
compartment.
Remove the cassette, if loaded, by
pressing the STOP/EJECT key.
Only operate the VCP after the
moisture condensation has
completely dried out.
Normally, it takes about 2 hours.

surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
