Warning of Dew Formation
This Unit supports Macrovision copy protection.
On DVD discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the
copy protection code prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.
Moisture may form inside the VCR/DVD under the following conditions:
• Immediately after a heater is turned on.
• In a steamy or humid room.
• When the VCR/DVD is suddenly moved from a cold to warm environment.
If moisture forms inside this VCR/DVD, it may not operate properly or damage the video cassette. In such case,
turn on the power and wait for more than two hours for the moisture to evaporate.
