TAPE TIPS

Erasing Tapes

If you record on a previously recorded tape, you re- place the old recording with the new one. If you need to quickly erase an entire tape, you might prefer to use a bulk eraser (available at your local RadioShack store).

Note: If you use metal or high-bias type tape, the re- corded sound may not be erased properly.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

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

To prevent accidental erasure of a tape recording, use a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cas- sette tape’s erase-protection tabs. This prevents RECORD from being pressed.
