Caution-Prevent Condensation
When moving the VCR from a cold place to a warm one,
condensation (dew) is likely to form on the VCR drum and heads.
If you try to play back or record in these circumstances, the
videotape and VCR may be damaged.
To prevent this, turn the power switch on and wait for a few hours for
the VCR to warm up and dry before attempting playback or
recording.
This is particularly important before loading a cassette for the first
time after purchasing the VCR.
