MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Condensation inside the Model 28’s VCR can
cause tape jams or video head damage. When
the Model 28’s automatic dew sensor senses
moisture,
DEW appears on the TV screen and
the Model 28 will not play a tape.
If DEW appears on the TV screen, or when you
move your Model 28 from a cold area to a warm
one, unplug the Model 28 and let it sit for about
2 hours, or until
DEW no longer appears when
you plug it in. This allows complete evaporation
of any moisture inside the Model 28.
