■ Moisture condensation occurs during the following

cases.

● When you bring the DVD video player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

● When you use the DVD video player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

● In summer, when you use the DVD video player in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
