SECTION 2 DISASSEMBLY
2.1 Manually removing the cassette tape If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded because of any electrical or mechanical failures, manually remove it by taking the following steps. (1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet. (2) Refer to the disassembly procedure of the VCR and perform the disassembly of the major parts before removing the mechanism assembly. (See Fig. 2-1a) (3) Unload the pole base assembly by manually turning the gear of the loading motor until the pole base assembly is hidden behind the cassette lid. In doing so, hold the tape by the hand to keep the slack away from any grease. (See Fig.2-1b ) In case of mechanical failures, while keeping the tension arm assembly free from tension, pull out the tape on the pole base assembly. Take the spring(a) of the pinch roller arm assembly off the hook, and detach it from the tape. (4) Remove the screw (a) of the side frame (L/R). (5) Hold the slack tape and cassette cover together, lift the cassette tape, top frame, cassette holder and side frames (L, R) together from the rear and remove them by dis-engaging the hooks (a) and (b).
