TAPE CARE TIPS
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Most cassette tapes have two erase-
protection tabs — one for each side. To
protect a recording from accidentally be-
ing recorded over or erased, use a
screwdriver to remove one or both of the
cassette tape’s erase-protection 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.
Notes:
• Be sure you cover only the hole that
was originally covered by the erase-
protection tab.
• Removing the erase-protection tabs
does not prevent a bulk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.
Erasing a Cassette Tape
If you no longer want a recording, you
can record over it or erase it.
To erase a previously recorded section
of a tape, simply record over it.
To erase the entire cassette tape, record
silence by setting
FUNCTION SELECTOR
to TAPE and recording with no tape in
TAPE 2.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser
(such as Cat. No. 44-232), available at
your local RadioShack store.
Cleaning the Tape-Handling
Parts
Dirt, dust or particles of the tape's coat-
ing can accumulate on the tape heads
and other parts that the tape touches.
This can greatly reduce the performance
of the cassette player. After every 20
hours of tape player operation, use a
cassette deck cleaning kit (Cat. No. 44-
1202) or follow these steps to clean the
tape-handling parts.
1. Disconnect the AC power cord.
2. Open the cassette compartment
doors on TAPE 1 and TAPE 2.
3. Press
PLAY on TAPE 1 and
TAPE 2 to expose the tape-handling
parts.
