Need Help Removing older sony tape deck

I just recently bought a 95 civic hatch (to replace my 92 hatch). The car came with an older Sony tape deck model # xr-1400 in it. I wanna take it out so I can put my good deck from my previous car in.
But I can't figure out how to get the thing out. the deck will shift up and down and left and right but it won't pull out. I pulled off my center console to see if there was a bolt holding it in place but there isnt, the back end of the deck moves around. I've tried pulling the face off but it doesn't come off.
Is there some sort of a clip some where that I need to undo? I can't see a "cage" that the deck would slide into, requiring me to have special keys to slide it out, like a newer deck, but I don't know.
Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks

Thanks for the link, but I know how to take the stock deck out, I Removed the lower console and checked to see if this deck was mounted the same way as the stock one but it isn't, there's something else holding it in place

Did you even bother to read my post man? I covered all that ****, it doesn't have a cage, it didn't come with any keys and it's not bolted in from the back like a stock deck. I've removed a number of decks from civics before, this one is held in different though.

I'll figure it out eventually I just though someone might know a trick to getting these decks out.

there is no "trick"

each deck is diff, the person who installed it before going done some silly **** to get it to stay in there, and for the life of us, we have no idea.

try sliding some thing knife on each side of the deck and prying it out.
