TAPE TIPS

Tape Quality

For the best performance, use only regular length (60- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recom- mend long-playing cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are extremely thin and can easily tan- gle in the playback mechanism.

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 turn it over and completely fast-forward the other side. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
