TAPE TIPS

Recommended Tapes

Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. We recommend ex- tended-range or low noise Type 1 reg- ular length (60- or 90-minute) normal- bias cassette tapes. We do not recom- mend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and can easily tangle.

Erasing a Cassette Tape

To record over a cassette tape, simply record as usual. The cassette deck records over the previous recording.
