7-2 Moisture Condensation
If you suddenly move the VTR from a cold location to
a warm one, or use the VTR in a very humid place,
moisture in the air can form on the head-drum or tape
guide. This is called moisture condensation. If you
play a tape under these conditions, the tape may adhere
to the drum where moisture has collected and become
damaged.
If moisture condenses on the head-drum while you are
operating the VTR, the error message “ERROR-10”
appears in the time data display section.
When moisture condensation has occurred
When this error message appears, the drum and
capstan motors stop and the cassette is automatically
ejected. The drum then starts to rotate again to dry the
surface of drum.
Once the moisture has evaporated, the error message
disappears.
If “ERROR-10” appears immediately after
turning the VTR on
Leave the VTR turned on and wait until the error
message goes off. Inserting a cassette is not possible
while the message is on.
When the error message disappears, you can use the
VTR.
If you move the VTR from a cold to a warm
location
Leave the VTR turned off for about ten minutes since
some time is needed for the condensation-detection
mechanism to work.
