TAPE TIPS

STORING 
MICROCASSETTE TAPES

Do not expose microcassette tapes to high
temperatures, high humidity, dust or dirt, or
motors, transformers, or other sources of
strong magnetic fields.

RESTORING TAPE 
TENSION AND SOUND 
QUALITY

After you play a microcassette tape several
times, the tape might become tightly
wound on the reels. This can cause play-
back 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 edge of the microcassette on a flat
surface.

Caution: Be careful not to damage the mi-
crocassette when tapping it. Do not touch
the exposed tape or allow any sharp ob-
jects near the microcassette.
