Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation can occur:
• When the DVD+VCR is moved from a cold place to a
warm place.
• Under extremely humid conditions.
In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
• Keep the DVD+VCR plugged into an AC power outlet
with POWER On. This will help prevent condensation.
• When condensation has occurred, wait a few hours
for the DVD+VCR to dry before using it.
Auto Head Cleaners
Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected from your VCR the video head is automatically cleaned.
This should mean that additional head cleaning should not be necessary.
However, dirt accumulating on the head after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred
or broken up. High quality video cassette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged
tapes might.
