TAKING OUT CASSETTE TAPE
If the tape cannot be taken out due to electrical failure, take out
the tape in the following procedure.
Please note that following is a simplified method.
Removing the cabinet parts before taking out the tape is rec-
ommended for easy tape removal considering the workabili-
ty and reliability.
(1) Remove the Power Unit (battery or DC cord) from the set.
(2) Remove the screw (1).
Refer to Fig.5-2-1
(3) Open the CASSETTE COVER, and then remove the screw
(2).
Refer to Fig.5-2-2
(4) Remove theLOWER CASE ASSY.
Refer to Fig.5-2-3,Fig.5-2-4
NOTE
* As the MIC (WIRE) is left connected, be careful in han-
dling the parts.
** In the previous method, CASSETTE COVER was
opened, and then the tape was unloaded by applying
voltage to the electrode on the top of the LOADING MO-
TOR from the CASSETTE HOUSING ASSY side.
In this model, voltage can easily be applied to the elec-
trode on the top of the LOADING MOTOR by removing
the LOWER CASE ASSY.
However, as the hooks and tabs are fitted on the side
facing the FRONT COVER ASSY, be careful in handling
the parts and avoid damaging the parts.
(5) Open the CASSETTE COVER until it is held open.
Refer to Fig.5-2-5
(6) Attach the PVC TAPE to the CASSETTE HOUSING ASSY.
Refer to Fig.5-2-5
NOTE
Be careful not to damage the cassette tape left in the
tape transport system as the cassette folder moves up-
ward in the EJECT mode (unloading end)
(7) Apply DC 3V to the terminal (electrode) on the top of the
LOADING MOTOR ASSY that can be seen from the bot-
tom side, and then slide the SLIDE DECK ASSY to the un-
loading end.
Refer to Fig.5-2-6
NOTE
During the procedure, be careful not to attach grease or
similar substances to the surface of the cassette tape left
in the tape transport system.
(8) Turn the CENTER GEAR to the direction of the arrow from
the backside of the SLIDE DECK ASSY using a sharp
pointed tool (Chip IC replacement tool) to wind up the cas-
sette tape by turning the REEL DISK ASSY (SUP)
Refer to Fig.5-2-7,Fig.5-2-8
(9) Confirm that the cassette tape is completely wound up, and
then peel off the PVC tape from the CASSETTE HOUSING
ASSY, and then take out the cassette tape
NOTE
To confirm that the cassette tape is completely wound
up, turn the CENTER GEAR to check whether the REEL
DISK ASSY (TU) rotates
(10) Make sure that grease or similar substances are not at-
tached to the surface of the wound up part of the tape. Also
make sure that grease or similar substances are not at-
tached on the tape transport system of the MECHANISM
