Has condensation formed inside the

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environ-
ment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on
the transmitter light-emitting diode on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter light-
emitting diode with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
