Preventing Accidental

Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-pro- tection tabs, one for each side. To pro- tect a recording from being accidentally recorded over or erased, use a screwdriver 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.

If you want to record on a tape side af- ter you have removed the erase- protection tab, place a piece of strong tape over that side’s erase-protection hole. Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered by the erase- protection tab.

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 side of the cas- sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.

Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette.
