Open the tape guard by pressing the tiny button on the front RHS of the cassette, into the housing.
The cassette's spool locks are released by pushing a ballpoint pen upward into the circular hole on the rear UNDERSIDE of the cassette (continuous pressure required, it's spring-loaded with no catch).
