Rapid temperature changes and storage or operation in extremely high humidity environments may cause "dew" to condense inside the VCR cabinet. Dew can.cause serious damage to your tapes and..thevideo.heads..Should dew form inside the unit, the DEW indicator will light and all normal VCR operations will be Inoperable.

• As an extra measure of protection for the video heads, wait another 5 minutes after the DEW indicator goes out before using the VCR.

• The dew sensor may take a few minutes to detect moisture. Accordingly, when the VCR is first hooked up or when the power cord is plugged into the socket again, wait about 30 minutes and confirm that the DEW indicator has not lit before attemptingto operate the unit.

Others

Audio-visual material may consist of copyrighted works which must not be recorded without the authority of the owner of the copyright. Please refer to the relevant laws in your country.
