Manually removing the cassette tape
If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded because
of any electrical or mechanical failures, manually remove it by
taking the following steps.
(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.
(2) Refer to the disassembly procedure of the VCR and per-
form the disassembly of the major parts before removing
the mechanism assembly. (See Fig. 2-1a)

(3) Unload the pole base assembly by manually turning the
gear of the loading motor until the pole base assembly is
hidden behind the cassette lid. In doing so, hold the tape by
the hand to keep the slack away from any grease. (See
Fig.2-1b )
In case of mechanical failures, while keeping the ten-
sion arm assembly free from tension, pull out the tape
on the pole base assembly. Take the spring(a) of the
pinch roller arm assembly off the hook, and detach it
from the tape.
(4) Remove the screw (a) of the side frame (L/R).
(5) Hold the slack tape and cassette cover together, lift the
cassette tape, top frame, cassette holder and side frames
(L, R) together from the rear and remove them by dis-en-
gaging the hooks (a) and (b).
