1Slide and hold OPEN/EJECT in the direction of arrow, then pull the cassette holder cover open until it locks. The cassette holder opens automatically.

Do not touch internal components.

2Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder.

Be sure to press only the section labeled “PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder; touching other parts may cause your finger to get caught in the cassette holder, resulting in injury or product damage.

Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.

When the battery pack’s charge is low, you may not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one or use AC power before continuing.

3Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it locks into place.

To protect valuable recordings…

Slide the erase protection tab on the back of the tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents the tape from being recorded over. To record on this tape, slide the tab back to “REC” before loading it.

NOTES:

It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do not apply force.

If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not open, close the cassette holder cover and try again. If the cassette holder still does not open, turn the player off then on again.

If the tape does not load properly, open the cassette holder cover fully and remove the cassette. A few minutes later, insert it again.

When the player is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening the cassette holder cover.

Closing the cassette holder cover before the cassette holder recedes may cause damage to the player.

Even when the player is switched off, a cassette can be loaded or unloaded. After the cassette holder is closed with the player switched off, however, it may not recede. It is recommended to turn the power on before loading or unloading.

When resuming recording, once you open the cassette holder cover a blank portion will be recorded on the tape or a previously recorded scene will be erased (recorded over) regardless of whether the cassette holder came out or not. See “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape”

( pg. 36).
