TAPE TIPS
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-for-
ward 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 cassette’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 ob-
jects near the cassette.
Erasing Tapes
To record over a cassette tape, insert
the supplied dummy plug into the re-
corder’s
MIC
jack and record as usual.
The cassette deck records over the pre-
vious recording. To record over the en-
tire cassette tape, let the tape record to
the end on both sides. When you finish,
remove the plug.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser
(available at your local RadioShack
store).
Note: If you use metal or high-bias type
tape, the recorded sound might not be
erased properly.
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase-protec-
tion tabs — one for each side. When a
tab is in place, you can record on that
side.
