Condensation occurs in the unit oron the tape when it is moved from one location to another where there is a significant differencein temperature and humidity.

If condensation has formed inside theunit, an error code (– d –) and warning display (HUMID) will light up on the status displaywindow, and the cassette tape will be automatically ejected.Leave the power on, and wait until the error code (– d –) and warning display (HUMID) arecleared.
