TAPE ERASING
Any signals previously recorded on a tape will be erased
automatically as a new recording is being made on the same
tape. For erasing only, set recorder to normal recording mode.
No plugs should be connected to the recorder Input Jacks and
Volume Controls should be kept at minimum position.
A Bulk Tape Eraser is recommended for quick and complete
erasure.
HEAD CLEANING
Tape Oxide/Dust deposites cause 90% of Tape Recording
Failures. For quality performance, it is imperative that tape
recorder heads be kept clean at all times. Dust and magnetic
particles from the tape tend to deposit on the heads after
prolonged use of the recorder. This results in poor head-to-
tape contact deteriorating sound quality and sensitivity. Such
dust deposits cause drastic drops in recording/playback levels
and nullifies high quality sound. Make it a rule to clean the
heads every time you use your tape recorder.
