However, in order to maximize the unit’s reliability, it isrecommended that the video heads be cleaned as and when appropriate.For further details on how to actually clean the heads, consult with one of our servicecompanies or with your dealer.CondensationyCondensation occurs due to the same principle involved when droplets of water form on awindow pane of a heated room. It occurs when the unit or tape is moved between placeswhere the temperature or humidity varies greatly or when, for instance:• It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room immediately after it has beenheated up.• It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid location.When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it standing for about 10 minutesrather than switching on the power immediately.If condensation has formed on or in the unit, the AUTO OFF lamp lights and the cassettetape is automatically ejected.Keep the power supplied and simply wait until the AUTO OFF lamp goes off.Do not use alcohol, benzine, paint thinners or any other solvents. They cause discoloration ofthe unit’s external parts surfaces and mar the paint finish.Installing the mechanism dust protectorMechanism dust protectorProtrusionProtrusionw Insert the protrusion underthe top-front metal plate.q Insert the protrusion alongsidethe metal plate inside themechanism.
