TAPE TIPS

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 completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each edge of the cassette on a flat surface.

Caution: Be careful not to damage the cas- sette when tapping it. Do not touch the ex- posed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette.

Erasing Tapes

To record over a cassette tape, simply record as usual. The cassette deck records over the previous recording.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cas- sette tape using a RadioShack bulk tape eraser.

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

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

If you later decide to record on a tape side af- ter 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.

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