VCP Dew Sensor - Dew Indicator

When damage-causing moisture condensation is detected within the VCP, the dew sensor circuit automatically prevents the VCP from accepting or playing tapes. When the dew sensor has been activated the DEW indicator, located on the VCP, flashes.

To prevent damaging a video tape that is in the VCP when the DEW indicator is flashing, press EJECT and remove the tape. Then, be sure the VCP is on so it can warm up and dry any accumulated moisture. When the DEW indicator stops flashing, the VCP can return to full operation.
