TAPE TIPS

Erasing a Cassette Tape

If you no longer want a recording, you can record over it or erase it. To erase the entire cassette tape, set the switch to TAPE and let the tape record to the end without a tape in Tape 2.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape eras- er, available at your local RadioShack store.
