Unloading a Cartridge
The cartridge can be removed from the SDX-520V and SDX-420V either
in response to a ATAPI Unload Command, or by pressing the EJECT
bottom.
By pressing EJECT button, the tape is rewound and the cartridge ejected
from the slot.
Write-protecting a Cartridge
Cartridges can be write-protected by sliding the tab on the back of the
cartridge. In this state, data can be read from the tape but not written onto it.

Using a Cleaning Cartridge
A cleaning function is built into the SDX-520V and SDX-420V so the use
of a cleaning cartridge is not needed. If however the drive experiences
excessive errors, the use of a Sony cleaning cartridge is recommended.
Using your fingernail, push the switch in the
direction of the arrow to protect the tape from
writing or accidental erasure.
Return the switch to its original position to
re-enable writing.
