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 re-
wind 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 ob-
jects near the cassette.
