TAPE TIPS

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 edge of
the cassette on a flat surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the cas-
sette when tapping it. Do not touch the ex-
posed tape or allow any sharp objects near
the cassette.
Erasing Tapes
To record over a cassette tape, simply
record as usual. The cassette deck records
over the previous recording.

Using Optional Components

Warning: To protect your hearing and pre-
vent damage to the karaoke system, an au-
dio source and/or an audio component,
always set their volume controls to the low-
est settings before turning them on.
LISTENING TO ANOTHER
AUDIO SOURCE
If you connected another audio source, fol-
low these steps to listen to that source
through your karaoke system.
You can quickly erase both sides of a cas-
sette tape using a RadioShack bulk tape
eraser.
Note: If you use metal or high-bias type tape,
the recorded sound might not be erased
properly.
Preventing Accidental Erasure
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 re-
cording, use a screwdriver to remove one or
both of the cassette tape's erase-protection
tabs. This prevents
pressed.
If you later decide to record on a tape side af-
ter 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.
Caution: Removing the erase-protection
tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.
