Error Codes
When an error occurs in the unit for some reason or other, the following error codes appear in the
display window.
Emergency eject
If the cassette cannot be ejected by pressing the EJECT button, use a screwdriver or similar tool
to press and turn the EMERGENCY screw. This enables the cassette to be removed.

Set the power to OFF.
2
Remove the rubber cap where shown in the figure. Insert a Phillips head screwdriver into the
cross-shaped part of the EMERGENCY screw (red).
3
While pushing in with the screwdriver, turn the EMERGENCY screw counterclockwise until
the tape is ejected.
1 This screw needs to be rotated through about 30 turns after the first turn until the unload-
ing can be started.

ejected.

Notes
{
1. Do not turn the EMERGENCY screw except in an emergency.
2. Do not turn the screw clockwise. Stop turning the screw as soon as the tape is ejected. Other-
wise, the mechanism may be damaged.
3. After the tape is ejected, the cassette holder will not lock into placed even when an attempt is
made to close it. Be sure to turn the power off and turn it back on to reset the mechanism’s
operation, and then close the cassette holder.
4. A clicking sound will be heard when the EMERGENCY screw is turned: this sound is made by
the real drive operation and is therefore not indicative of a malfunction.
