NOTES: 1. The unloading torque operation is in three
100
stages so finally, check that during unloading,
the tape is winding into the cassette pack
correctly.
2. A modified cassette pack is shown in Fig.
8-4. The upper side of the cassette pack has
been cut away and the tape taken out.
There is black tape inside the pack to block
the light from the start and end sensor.
This modified pack is very useful in check-
ing in each mode so we recommend you

make your own from a defective cassette
pack.
This modified cassette pack is not available
from Akai.
