TAPE TIPS
Erasing a Cassette Tape
To erase a previously recorded tape,
simply record over it. To erase the entire
cassette tape, set
TAP E/RADIO/CD to CD
and do not load a CD. Then start record-
ing and let the tape record to the end.
Or, set
TAPE/RADIO/CD to TAPE and
press
RECORD .
To quickly erase both sides of a cas-
sette tape, use a bulk tape eraser, avail-
able at your local RadioShack store.
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase-protec-
tion tabs — one for each side. To pro-
tect a recording from being accidentally
recorded over or erased, use a screw-
driver to remove one or both erase-pro-
tection tabs.
If you want to record on a tape side after
you have removed the erase-protection
tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape
over that side’s erase-protection hole.
Be sure you cover only the hole original-
ly covered by the erase-protection tab.
Note:
Removing erase-protection tabs
does not prevent a bulk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.
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-for-
ward the tape from the beginning to the
end of one side, then completely rewind
it. Loosen the tape reels by gently tap-
ping each side of the cassette’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 ob-
jects near the cassette.
