Unloading a cassette
With the power supply on, press the EJECT button to open the cassette
lid. Then take out the cassette. If you are not going to insert another
cassette, close the cassette lid.
It is possible to take out the cassette and close the cassette lid unless the
battery voltage drops below about 10.5 V. Do not repeat this unloading
operation.
