1.7 HOW TO TAKE OUT CASSETTE TAPE MANUALLY
• How to remove cassette tape manually from the set
If the cassette tape is not ejected from the cassette housing
because of some electric trouble, it can be removed from the
set by the temporary measure that is to turn the loading motor
forcibly as mentioned below.
Through the removing work, pay heed to the exterior parts
such as the covers, etc. as well as to the cassette tape to get
nothing damaged.
<Procedure>
1. Disconnect the power supply (battery or DC cord) from
the set.
2. Dismantle the deck operation, front cover assembly
referring to the section 1 (page 1-4, 1-5).
Note: When and after dismantling the front assembly, pay
careful attention to the internal components such as
the OP block assembly (lens), battery terminal, etc.
that are exposed after the front assembly is removed.
3. Open the cassette cover assembly completely and hold
it open through the work.
4. Supply 3 V DC to the terminals (electrodes) on the top
of the loading motor to slide the slide deck assembly
to the front side, and stop the power supply when both
the pole bases are positioned in the unloading status
inside the tape. Since the tape remains as it is not
wound up at that time, pay careful attention to the tape
(DC3V)

not to damage it and not to soil it with grease, etc. If
unloading operation is continued after both the pole
bases return to their respective positions inside the tape,
the mechanism enters the eject mode and the cassette
housing assembly is lifted up. If it occures, the pulled-
out tape may be caught in the cassette lid and the tape
may be resultingly damaged.
5. Turn the center gear assembly with a sharp-pointed thing
(chip IC replacing jig, etc.) in the direction of the arrow
to wind up the tape. Carefully turn the center gear assem-
bly not to damage the tape.
If the tape cannot be wound up by turning the center gear
assembly, it is thinkable that the idler arm assembly is
positioned not to engage with the reel disk assembly. If
so, shift the mechanism mode so that the idler arm
assembly is correctly engaged with the reel disk assem-
bly. After fine adjusting the engagement, try to wond up
the tape is the same manner once more.
In such the event, it is recommended to shift the idler
arm assembly slightly in the loading direction.
6. After confirming that the tape is completely wound up,
proceed with unloading operation until the mechanism
enters the eject mode. Then, take the cassette tape out
of the cassette housing.
7. After removing the cassette tape, check to see if the
manually wound part of the tape is not soiled with grease,
etc. At the same time, check the mechanism assembly,
particularly the tape transport system, whether there is
something abnormal or not.
