TAPE CARE TIPS

Erasing a Cassette Tape

To erase a previously recorded sec- tion of a tape, simply record over it. To erase the entire cassette tape, let the tape record to the end with no source playing.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser (such as Cat. No. 44-232, not sup- plied).

Preventing Accidental

Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-pro- tection tabs — one for each side. To protect a recording from being acci- dentally recorded over or erased, use a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs.

(Needs an illus - show an erase protection tab being removed with a screwdriver.
