If you later decide to record on a tape side after you have removed its erase-protection tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over the side’s erase-protection hole. Be sure you cover only the hole originally cov- ered by the erase-protection tab.

Caution: Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent a bulk tape eraser from erasing a cas- sette tape.

Erasing Tapes

If you record on a previously recorded tape, you re- place the old recording with the new. You can also erase part or all of a tape without recording new ma- terial by following these steps:

1.Load a cassette and disconnect the microphone, if it is connected.

2.Set TAPE/RADIO to TAPE.

3.Press RECORD and PLAY. As the tape moves, it is erased.

4.Press STOP to stop erasing.

If you want to quickly erase a cassette, you can use a bulk eraser (Cat. No. 44-232).
