b. Releasing the Lifter
The lifter drive is released mechanically in that it is released when the cassette is slid out. As many as
two types of claws are at work (one moving up the lifter and one holding the lifter). When the machine is
in standby state, the lifter gear is supported by the retaining claw; when the cassette is slid out, the retain-
ing claw is released to let the lifter down.
Caution:
If the main power supply is cut off while the lifter is moving up, the claw used to move up the lifter can
hold up the lifter while remaining in contact with the lifter gear depending on when the power is
removed. Such a condition may not fully release the lifter so it is important to turn OFF and ON the
main power to start standby state. Forcing the casstte out in such a condition can result in damage.
