Maintenance
Condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold location to a warm location or used in areas with high humidity, the
moisture in the air may adhere as water droplets on the head drum. This is called condensation,
and if the tape is run under these conditions, it will easily stick to the drum. Therefore, the following
points should be observed.
If the unit is moved under conditions where condensation may occur, eject the tape.
Before inserting the tape, set the POWER switch to ON and check that the HUMID display in the
display window is not lighted. If the HUMID display is lighted, do not insert the tape until the
display goes off.
The HUMID display
is not lighted.

Do not use thinner or other solvents to remove dirt from the viewfinder.
Wipe the lens with lens cleaner available on the market.
Absolutely do not wipe the mirror. If dirt, etc. has adhered to the mirror, remove it using a air
