high temperature with high humidity.

Cleaning the head section
There are precisely aligned parts around the heads, including the tape guides.
When cleaning, pay special attention so as not to apply shock to them.
Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of a cold
material, condensation is produced.
If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or
the unit may not function correctly.
This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried-out.
(To do this, turn the ON/STANDBY switch ON and leave the unit as it
is for several hours.)
