Notes:
Dew
is
formed
under
the
same
principle
that
conden-
sation
will
form
on
window
panes
in
a
heated
room,
and
it
may
be evident in the following circumstances:
ein
a
room
where
the
heater
has
just
been
switched
on
in
the
winter.
@in
a
room
where
there
is
a
high
level
of
moisture
or
steam.
¢in a warm room when the video recorder has been brought
from a cold location.
Video Head Clogging
Good Picture Snowy Picture
The
video
heads
are
the
means
by
which
the
recorder
places
pictures
on the
tape
during
recording,
and
reads
pictures
from
the
tape
during
playback.
In the unlikely even that they become dirty enough to be
clogged, no picture will be recorded or’played back. This can
easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape,
there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy).
If
this
is
the
case,
have
the
recorder
checked
by
qualified service personnel.
Cleaning the VTR
Wipe the VTR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning
fluids, chemicals or wax.
Keep water away
Keep
the
VTR
away
from
flower
vases,

CAUTION:
If
liquids
should
be
spilled
into
the
VTR,
serious

could
occur.
