condensation, and if a tape is run in this state, the tape may 
stick to the drum and can be easily damaged. To lessen the 
risk of this occurring, this unit is equipped with a 
condensation detection system.
If condensation occurs while the unit is 
operating:
The alarm message “MOISTURE HAS BEEN 
DETECTED.” appears on the monitor screen, and the 
alarm message “HUMID!” in the time counter display. At 
the same time the unit ejects the cassette automatically. If 
this happens, leave the unit powered on and wait until the 
alarm messages disappear.
If the condensation alarm message 
appears immediately after powering on:
Leave the unit powered on and wait until the alarm 
message disappears. You cannot load a cassette into the 
unit while the alarm message is being displayed. Once the 
alarm message disappears, the unit is ready for use.
Periodical Maintenance
Digital hours meter
The digital hours meter keeps cumulative counts of the 
total operating time, the head drum rotation time, the tape 
transport operating time, and the number of threading/ 
unthreading operations. These counts can be displayed on 
the monitor screen and in the time counter display of this 
unit. Use them as guidelines for scheduling maintenance.
In general, consult your Sony dealer about necessary 
periodic maintenance checks.
Digital hours meter display modes
The digital hours meter has the following four display 
modes.
• T1 (OPERATION) mode
The cumulative total hours during which the unit is 
powered on is displayed in 10-hour increments.
• T2 (DRUM ROTATION) mode
The cumulative total hours of drum rotation with tape 
threaded is displayed in 10-hour increments.
• T3 (TAPE RUNNING) mode
The cumulative total hours of tape transport operation 
for fast forward, rewind, playback, and search (except in 
still search mode) is displayed in 10-hour increments.
• CT (THREADING) mode
The cumulative number of tape threading/unthreading 
operation pairs is displayed in 10-operation pair 
increments.
For all modes except T1 (OPERATION), there are two 
types of count: a “trip” count, which is resettable, and the 
cumulative total from manufacture, which is unresettable.
