Manual Eject after Error
When an error has occurred, due to large slack on the tape
or mechanical trouble, the tape may not be wound onto the
cassette reel correctly with the normal manual eject
procedure.
Perform manual eject after an error has occurred in the
following steps.
1. Remove the outside panel. (Refer to Section 1-4.)
2. Check the condition of the tape.
If the tape has slack, make sure that the tape is not
hooked onto the guide roller or other parts.
3. Press and hold the manual eject knob, and turn it
clockwise.
At this time, turn the knob while watching that the tape
is not hooked onto the pinch arm, threading arm, S
slider, T slider, or any other parts.
4. When all the guides are stored in the cassette, stop
turning the knob. (See the figure.)
If the knob is turned too much, the cassette compart-
ment moves up.
If the tape still has slack at this time, the tape is
damaged.

indicated positions in this figure
5. If the tape still has slack, turn the capstan motor
counterclockwise until the tape has no slack. (Wind
the tape with the T-side reel at this time.)
If the tape still has slack even after this, turn the
capstan motor clockwise to eliminate the slack.
(Wind the tape with the S-side reel at this time.)
If the tape still has slack even after this, raise the
cassette lid of the cassette tape, and perform step 6.
6. Press and hold the manual eject knob, and turn it
clockwise until the cassette compartment moves up.
