Cassette tapes have two erase-protection tabs — one for
each side. When a tab is in place, you can record on that
side. 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 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 originally covered by the erase-
protection tab.

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape's coating 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, follow
these steps to clean the tape-handling parts or use a
RadioShack cassette deck cleaning kit.

your speakers by cleaning them

instead.
