Removing slack in the tape

To eject cassettes
With the system powered on, press the EJECT button on
the control panel.
The tape is unthreaded and the cassette is automatically

the SRW-1 powered off, because the battery pack is
exhausted or for some other reason.
There is no need to return the screw to its original position
after you remove the cassette. Normal operation resumes
again the next time you power the system on.
For the method of ejecting the cassette after a slack error
(forcible eject), refer to the Maintenance Manual.
