TAPE TIPS

Recommended Tapes

Tape quality greatly affects the quality
of the recording. We recommend ex-
tended-range or low noise Type 1 reg-
ular length (60- or 90-minute) normal-
bias cassette tapes. We do not recom-
mend long-play cassette tapes such as
C-120s because they are thin and can
easily tangle.

Erasing a Cassette Tape

To record over a cassette tape, simply
record as usual. The cassette deck
records over the previous recording.
To erase the entire cassette tape, in-
sert the supplied erasing plug into the
jack and press

RadioShack store.

Preventing Accidental
Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase-protec-
tion tabs — one for each side. When a
tab is in place, you can record on that
side.
To protect a recording from being acci-
dentally recorded over or erased, use
a screwdriver to remove one or both of
the cassette tape's erase-protection
tabs. This prevents
ing pressed.
. (Be sure If you later decide to record on a tape
side after you have removed its erase-
protection tab, place a piece of strong
plastic tape over that side's erase-pro-
tection hole. Be sure you cover only
