Moisture can condense on a tape when the tape is moved from a cold place to a warm place. If a cassette with this problem
is inserted. the CASSETTE indication will flash rapidly when one of the control buttons (PLAY button, etc.) is pressed, and
only the EJECT button will function. Note that the DEW symbol will not appear in this instance.
Take out the cassette and let it dry naturally.
