According to the explanation of Test Mode in service manual, external amp (or cassette recorder in stopped recording mode) is used for testing the cassette interface. You don’t need to perform this test, there’s hardly any reason why cassette interface shouldn’t work. That test is rather strange, it needs to set well that gain of the external amp. Probably you didn’t do, so there’s error alert.
If you need only the reset, when you see Test entry on the display, just respond with No. That’s all.
Good luck.
