Inserting/Ejecting Cassettes
To insert a cassette
Notes
• Do not insert the cassette forcibly. The unit may be
damaged.
• Do not eject/load the cassette in a place subject to
light. The internal sensor of the unit may operate
incorrectly if too much light falls on the unit.
1 With the unit powered on, press the EJECT button.
The cassette compartment opens.
2 After checking the tape for slack, hold the cassette
so that the tape window is facing upward, then
insert it into the unit.
Notes
• When inserting a cassette, hold the back edge of
the cassette in the center and push it until the
cassette is inserted deep into the unit. If you hold
the ends, the cassette may not be loaded properly.
• If the cassette does not load or is loaded only
halfway, eject it once, then insert it again. In such
a case, if you insert the cassette forcibly, the
cassette may not be loaded properly or
malfunctions may occur.
• It takes a few seconds for the unit to recognize
the cassette and find the proper location on the
tape being loaded.
