TAPE TIPS

Recommended Tapes

Tape quality greatly affects the qual- ity of the recording. We recommend extended-range or low noise type 1 regular length (60 or 90-minute) normal-bias cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and can easily tangle.

Recording Over or Erasing a Cassette Tape

To record over a cassette tape, sim- ply record as usual. The cassette deck records over the previous re- cording.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape eras- er available at your local RadioShack store.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase- protection tabs, one for each side. When a tab is in place, you can record on that side.

To protect a recording from being ac- cidentally recorded over or erased, use a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase- protection tabs. This prevents RECORD from being pressed.

Illustration

If you later decide to record on a tape side after you have removed the erase-protection tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over that side’s erase-protection hole. Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered by the erase-protection tab.
