TAPE TIPS

Restoring Tape Tension and Sound
Quality
After you play a 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 com-
pletely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently
tapping each side of the tape's outer shell on a flat
surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the tape when
tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any
sharp objects near the tape.

Erasing Tapes

To record over a tape, simply record as usual. The
tape deck records over the previous recording. To
record over the entire tape, let the tape record to the
end.
