Used to prevent the tape from moving when it is outside the unit. When you
insert a cartridge into the unit, its reel locks are released automatically.
Caution
Do not close the reel lock as this may cause loading problems.

Positioning Hole
Used by the unit to determine the position of the cartridge in the unit.
Caution
Do not close the positioning hole as this may cause loading problems.
Setting the Write-protect Switch
The position of the write-protect switch on the cartridge determines whether you
can write to the tape. If you do not want to write to the tape, slide the switch in
the direction of the arrow as illustrated below.
Cleaning Cartridge
Use a Sony S-AIT Cleaning Cartridge SAIT1-CL to clean the drive heads. The
unit determines when heads need to be cleaned and alerts you accordingly. For
details about how to use the cleaning cartridge, see “Head Cleaning” on page 41.
