About moisture condensation…
• You may have observed that pouring a cold
liquid into a glass will cause drops of water
to form on the glass outer surface. This
same phenomenon occurs on the head
drum of a camcorder when it is moved from
a cool place to a warm place, after heating a
cold room, under extremely humid
conditions or in a place directly subjected to
the cool air from an air conditioner.
• Moisture on the head drum can cause
severe damage to the video tape, and can
lead to internal damage to the camcorder
itself.
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
