TAPE TIPS

Erasing a Cassette Tape

If you no longer want a recording, you can record over it or erase it. To record over a cassette tape, simply record over the previous recording. To erase the en- tire cassette tape, let the tape record to the end.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser, available at your local RadioShack store.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-protec- tion tabs, one for each side. To protect a recording from being accidentally re- corded over or erased, use a screwdriv- er to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs.

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