Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please
read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside
this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
When you use the unit in a humid place.
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the
power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the
unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or
three hours, the unit will have warmed up and
evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to
the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.
