Check the following points, before inserting the
cassette in the orientation shown in the figure.
• Check that message "ERROR-10" is not shown in
the time data display area 1.
• Check that there is no slack in the tape.
The cassette is drawn into the unit, and the
STANDBY and STOP buttons light.
If message "ERROR-10" appears in the time data display
area 1 , there is moisture condensation in the unit. For steps
to take when "ERROR-10" is displayed, see Section 8-4,
"Moisture Condensation" (page 8-4).
Removing slack from the tape
Press in one of the reels with a finger, and turn gently
in the direction shown by the arrows until there is no
slack in the tape.
Ejecting a cassette
Press the EJECT button.
If the tape slacks inside the unit, pressing the EJECT button
may not eject the cassette. For information about how to
remove the cassette in such a case, refer to Section 1-16,
"How to Take Out the Cassette When the Tape is Slacking,"
in the Installation Manual.
