Erasing

Erasing a Recording

To record over a cassette tape, you can either:

•Record as usual. The cassette deck records over the previous recording.

•Quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser, available at your local RadioShack store.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

To prevent accidental erasure of a tape recording, use a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs. This prevents RECORD from being pressed.

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 erase-protection hole. Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered by the erase-protection tab.

YWCaution: Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent a bulk tape eraser from erasing a cassette tape.
