INTRODUCTION

WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

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 condensation. Moisture
condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the
tape.
When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature
change from cold to warm, some condensation
will occur. Under this condition, connect the power
cord to the AC line, press POWER/TIMER button
on and allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry
out.
