Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation
in an extremely humid environment may cause con-
densation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape
heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote con-
trol.
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 with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
