In the event that the set enters the emergency mode as it is
loaded with a cassette tape and the cassette tape cannot be
ejected with the EJECT button, manually, take it out of the set
according to the following procedure.
NOTE :
• If the mechanism comes into the unloading mode as the cas-
sette tape is not held by hand, it results in tape damage.
(1) Disconnect the set from the power source.
(2) Remove the UPPER CASE. (refer to "1.2 ASSEMBLY
AND DISASSEMBLY OF CABINET PARTS".)
(3) Connect a jumper wire to each pole of the LOADING
MOTOR as shown by the magnified view (Fig. 1-4-1).

nect the jumper wires to a battery to run the mechanism
to the EJECT position four unloading. If this unloading
operation is performed as the cassette housing is not
held down by hand, the front lid of the cassette may dam-
age the tape when it is ejected.
(5) For taking in the slack of the tape, run the mechanism to
the EJECT position as the front lid of the cassette is left
open, and turn the TAKE-UP GEAR in the forward direc-
tion to wind up the tape. After confirming that the tape
has completely been wound up and the supply reel is
idling, take the cassette tape out of the cassette housing
