This is moisture condensation.Moisture condensation onthe head drum, one of themost crucial parts of theunit, will cause damage tothe tape.When the VCR is exposedto a rapid temperaturechange from cold to warm,some condensation willoccur. Under this condition,connect the power cord tothe AC line, turn on theVCR and allow at least twohours for the VCR to dryout.
