TAPE TIPS

Preventing Accidental

Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-

protection tabs

æ

one for each side.

To protect a recording from being ac-

cidentally recorded over or erased,

use a screwdriver to remove one or

both of the cassette tape’s erase-

protection tabs.

If you want to record on a tape side af-

ter you have removed the erase-

protection tab, place a piece of strong

plastic tape over that side’s erase-

protection hole.

Notes:

• Be sure you cover only the hole

originally covered by the erase-

protection tab.

• Removing the erase-protection

tabs does not prevent a bulk

eraser from erasing a cassette

tape.

Erasing a Cassette Tape

To erase a previously recorded sec-

tion of a tape, simply record over it. To

erase the entire cassette tape, let the

tape record to the end with no source

playing.

You can quickly erase both sides of a

cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser

(such as Cat. No. 44-232, not sup-

plied), available at your local Ra-

dioShack store.

Restoring Tape Tension and

Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape several

times, the tape might become tightly

wound on the reels. This can cause

playback sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-

forward the tape from the beginning to

the end of one side, then completely

rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels

by gently tapping each side of the cas-

sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.

Caution:

Be careful not to damage

the cassette when tapping it. Do not

touch the exposed tape or allow any

sharp objects near the cassette.
