Emergency Eject
1
Remove the top panel.
2
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to push in and turn
the red plastic screw part counterclockwise.
(This screw needs to be rotated about 30 turns
before unloading can be started.)
3
Insert the take-up jig (packed with the unit) into the
tape ejection slot (on the mechanism side of the
VTR), and rotate the flange part (white gear) of the
supply reel in the take-up direction to take up the
tape slack using the rubber part of the take-up jig.
<Note>
Take care not to damage the tape in any way.

Once more use the Phillips head screwdriver to
push in and turn the red plastic screw part
counterclockwise. Again rotate the flange part of
the supply reel in the take-up direction to take up
the tape slack.
This two-step procedure needs to be repeated
until the tape is completely housed in the
cassette case (about 90 turns of the red plastic
screw part).
5
Use the Phillips head screwdriver to turn the red
plastic screw part at the slot-in side clockwise to
eject the cassette tape.
(This screw needs to be rotated through about
140 turns until the tape is ejected.)
<Note>
Take care not to sandwich or catch the tape
when closing the cassette cover.
