²When the temperature of the VCP becomes too high or low, the
temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation, ejects the cassette
and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The lamp will remain illuminated
until the system has returned to a safe operating temperature.
Humidity and moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense in the VCP under extremely humid
conditions or when moving from a cold place to a warm one. Moisture
condensation on the tape playback head drum may damage the
videocassette and/or drum. If moisture condensation occurs, do not
insert a videocassette into the player. If a videocassette is already in the
player, remove it. Turn the VCP power ON to dry the moisture before
inserting a videocassette. This could take an hour or more.
Dew sensor circuit
²Under high moisture (dewed) conditions, the tape heads and cassette
tape may be damaged if the VCP is operated.
²When the vehicle's cabin temperature is very low and then is heated
quickly, or the humidity is very high within the vehicle, the inside of
the windows most likely will be fogged. Under these conditions, the
inside of the VCP most likely is dewed.
²
When a dewed condition exists, the dew sensor circuit stops machine
operation, ejects the cassette and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The lamp
will remain illuminated until the system is dry enough to operate safely.
Cleaning video heads
Magnetic video heads convert the videocassette into pictures on the screen
during playback. Over a period of time, particles rub off the tape and are
left on the heads. Using an old or poor quality tape together with dust and
air particles, high temperature and humidity cause dirty heads. Dirty heads
generally cause ªsnowyº pictures and, in some severe cases, blurred or
interrupted pictures. A variety of products are available at video stores to
clean tape heads. Use these products sparingly, because some are abrasive
to the video heads. If normal head cleaning procedures do not resolve the
problem, have the system checked by a service technician.
Foreign substances
Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the VCP
compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto
the media controls or into the videocassette player. If liquid is
accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF
and consult a qualified service technician.
