Condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the
temperature in the room in which the player is installed
rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets
(condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and
the lens). When condensation is present, the player will
not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let
the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours
with the power turned on (the time depends on the
extent of condensation). The water droplets will
dissipate and playback will become possible.
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the
player is exposed to the direct wind from an
air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a
different place.
