Preventing Accidental
Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase-pro-
tection tabs, one for each side. To pro-
tect a recording from being
accidentally recorded over or erased,
use a screwdriver to remove one or
both of the cassette tape’s erase-
protection tabs.
Note:
Removing the erase-protection
tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser
from erasing a cassette tape.
If you want to record on a tape side af-
ter you have removed the erase-
protection tab, place a piece of strong
tape over that side’s erase-protection
hole. Be sure you cover only the hole
originally covered by the erase-
protection tab.
Restoring Tape Tension and
Sound Quality
After you play a cassette tape several
times, the tape might become 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 cas-
sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
Caution
:
Be careful not to damage
the cassette when tapping it. Do not
touch the exposed tape or allow any
sharp objects near the cassette.
