2 = TAPE REEL STOPPED
3 = MECH STOPPED DURING LOADING TO DRUM
4 = MECH STOPPED DURING UNLOADING FROM DRUM
5 = CAPSTAN ROTATION FAULT
6 = MECHANISM STOPPED DURING TAPE-IN OR EJECT
PROCEDURE TO ACCESS FURTHER SERVICE MODES
follow procedure as detailed in fault codes above but once the display
has appeared press eject again while holding down the other buttons
(This gives access to 6 further service modes)
DETAILS EXPLAINING 6 FURTHER SERVICE MODES
Mode 1: checks the tape end sensors & displays the following codes
00 = NO LIGHT TO BOTH SENSORS
