Question about Sansui COM311AD 13 in. Combo

"DEW" is on screen and VCR not working

Sansui Model COM311ADA, AC/DC TV/VCR combo. Manufactured Nov. 2001. "DEW" is on the bottom left of the screen and the VCR won't do anything but load and eject. I've been through the menu but can't find a relative item. I've tried unplugging it but that didn' get rid of it.

Sorry, it's not liquid dew. It's the letters "D" "E" "W".

When the DEW appears leave tv on for several hrs at room temp. The heat from the picture tube will help remove the moisture.

Is this in your house. do you have High humidity? the dew i bet is in the morning. vcr dont like dew because the tape can wrap around the head and break. also vcrs have a dew sensor. u got to find a higher dryer spot in the house away from walls.. perhaps a tiny cheap fan running on it 24-7 would cure the problem.

What do the letters "DEW" mean on the screen. TV/VCR combo model GOJ 12330

DEW means that there is condensation inside the unit. Turn it off and unplug it for a few hours. The unit needs to reach equilibrium with the temperature and humidity with the room. The TV is cooler than the room and the moisture will continue to be a problem until the components of the TV reach room temperature.

If you fail to allow the TV to reach equilibrium, some components may become damaged by the moisture. If that has happened, resolving the error may take major repairs. Electronics do not like moisture.

I hope this helps.

My Remote Control for my Sansui Mdl. COM311ADA is not working. Do you have a replacement Remote Control for this model?
