TAPE TIPS

STORING CASSETTE TAPES

Do not expose microcassette tapes to high temperatures, high humidity, dust or dirt, or motors, transformers, or other sources of strong magnetic fields.

RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND SOUND QUALITY

After you play a microcassette 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 cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.

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