VIDEOCASSETTE PLAYER/RECORDER

– In an environment with excessive humidity, dust, or
vibration (e.g., off-road travel, etc.).
• If the unit has accumulated moisture condensation (e.g.,
after parking the vehicle outside overnight), allow the unit
to automatically remove it through a built-in Dew/Heat
sensor. See Dew/Heat Sensor Operation.
Videocassette Use
• Use only high quality VHS-type (T-30, T-60, or T-120)
videocassettes that last longer and provide a better picture.
• Always rewind your videocassettes to help maintain tape
quality and tape life.
• Do not directly touch the magnetic tape surface. Do not
splice or disassemble a videocassette. Playing these cas-
settes may cause damage to the VCR or its tape heads.
• Avoid exposing a videocassette to direct sunlight and keep
it away from heat sources (e.g., heater vent).
• Avoid extreme environments such as high humidity,
excessive vibrations or jarring, strong magnetic fields
(e.g., speaker magnet, etc.) and dust.
• Always place a videocassette back in its case after use.
DEW/HEAT SENSOR OPERATION
The VDH910 is equipped with a built-in Dew/Heat circuit
that automatically detects for moisture condensation and high
internal temperature. When activated, the Dew/Heat
Indicator will flash and “DEW/HEAT” is displayed on the
TV screen. While active, the Dew/Heat Sensor circuit will
inhibit the drive section to avoid damaging heads due to
sticking tape or high internal temperatures that can cause
tape damage. The unit will be powered on, but it will not
accept a videocassette.
NOTE: If a videocassette was left in the VDH910, press EJECT to
avoid damaging the tape during this procedure.
If moisture is the problem, leave the power on so the unit can
warm up and dry any accumulated moisture. When the
Dew/Heat Indicator stops flashing, the unit will return to full
operation.
