∙Do not operate the unit if any liquid or solid object falls in it—have it checked immediately.

About Moisture
Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense on the video head drum. If this happens, the tape may stick to the head drum and it may be damaged or the unit may not operate correctly. To avoid possible damage caused by moisture condensation, be sure not to leave a cassette inside the compartment when the unit is not in use. When bringing the unit from a cold place to a warm place, wait for about 10 minutes before operating it.
If the tape operation buttons do not work due to moisture condensation, leave the unit for more than one hour with the power on.
