Method for Manual Tape Loading/Unloading
To load a cassette tape manually:
- Disconnect the AC plug.
- Remove the Top Case and Front Assembly.
- Insert a cassette tape. Though the tape will not be automatically loaded, make sure that the cassette tape is all the way in at the inlet of the Cassette Holder. To confirm this, lightly push the cassette tape further in and see if the tape comes back out, by a spring motion, just as much as you have pushed in.
- Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction shown in Fig for a minute or two to complete this task.
- Disconnect the AC plug.
- Remove the Top Case and Front Assembly.
- Make sure that the Moving guide preparations are in the Eject Position.
- Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction shown in Fig. until the Moving guide preparations come to the Eject Position. Stop turning when the preparations begin clicking or cannot be moved further. However, the tape will be left wound around the cylinder.
- Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction continuously, and the cassette tape will be ejected. Allow a minute or two to complete this task.
- Disconnect the AC Plug.
- Remove the Top Case and Front Assembly.
- Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction shown in Fig. M1. Release the locking tabs shown in Fig. and continue turning the LDG Belt until the Cassette Holder comes to the tape-loaded position. Allow a minute or two to complete this task.
