emergency eject screw. This enables the cassette to be removed.

a Phillips head screwdriver into the cross-shaped part of
the emergency eject screw (red).

While pushing in with the screwdriver, turn the emergency
eject screw counterclockwise until the tape is ejected.

<Notes>
≥
Do not turn the emergency eject screw except in an
emergency.
≥ Do not turn the screw clockwise. Stop turning the
screw as soon as the tape is ejected. Otherwise, the
mechanism may be damaged.
≥ After the tape is ejected, the cassette holder will not lock
into place even when an attempt is made to close it. Be
sure to turn the power off and turn it back on to reset the
mechanism’s operation, and then close the cassette holder.
≥ A clicking sound will be heard when the emergency eject
screw is turned: this sound is made by the reel drive
operation and is therefore not indicative of a malfunction.
