TAPE TIPS

Recommended Tapes

Tape quality greatly affects the quali- ty of the recording. We recommend extended-range or low noise type 1 regular length (60- or 90-minute) nor- mal-bias cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and easily tangle.

Erasing a Cassette Tape

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

Notes:

You must set FUNCTION to RADIO OFF/TAPE and the unit must be placed in a very quiet room.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser such as Cat. No. 44- 232, available at your local Radio Shack store.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-pro- tection tabs — one for each side. When a tab is in place, you can record on that side. To prevent RECORD from being pressed and protect a recording from being acci- dentally recorded over or erased, re- move one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs.

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.

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