RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND SOUND QUALITY

After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might be- come tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the be- ginning 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.
