Caution concerning condensation
Be careful of condensation
Condensation is the moisture that forms on the

Condensation can also form inside a VCR when it is
suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm, humid
one, or when a heater has been turned onto quickly
heat the room.
Particular care must be taken with your VCR because
water particles that form on the video head drum,
which is the main VCR mechanism, can cause the
