Pressing in the reels lightly, turn them gently with your 
fingers in the directions shown below. If the reels will not 
move, there is no slack.

With the power supply on, press the EJECT button to open 
the cassette compartment lid. Then take out the cassette. If 
you are not going to insert another cassette, close the 
cassette lid.

compartment lid unless the battery voltage drops below 
about 10.5 V. Do not repeat this unloading operation.
