About Gassette TaPes
Whenever you record on a cmsette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. lf the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed'
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side A'This prevents the
record key from locking.

lf later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the record key to function again.
