RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND SOUND QUALITY

After you play a cassette 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 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 cassette when tap- ping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp ob- jects near the cassette.
