Tape Tips

ERASING A CASSETTE

If you no longer want a recording, you can
record over it or erase it.

To record over a cassette, be sure the
erase-protection tabs are in place. Then
simply record as usual. The recorder
records over the previous recording.

You might prefer to use a bulk tape eraser
which erases both sides of a tape in just a
few seconds.
