Preventing Accidental

Recording

Cassette tapes have two protection tabs — one for each side. To protect a recording from being accidentally re- corded over, use a screwdriver to re- move one or both of the cassette’s protection tabs.

Note: Removing the protection tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from erasing a cassette tape.

If you want to record on a tape side af- ter you have removed the protection tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over that side’s protection hole.

Be sure you cover only the hole origi- nally covered by the protection tab.

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 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.

Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coating can accumulate on the tape deck’s tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly re- duce the performance of the cassette player.
