Gently push in the reel using your finger and turn the reel in the direction of the arrow. If the reel fails to turn, it means there is no tape slack.

First, set the POWER switch to OFF to turn off the unit’s power.

Then turn the power back on, and immediately hold down the EJECT button.

The cassette can be removed when there is still some power left in the battery. However, do not repeat this operation.
