PRECAUTIONS
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 head drum or 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.
