Tape Tips

STORING CASSETTE TAPES

Do not expose microcassette tapes to
high temperatures, high humidity, dust,
dirt, motors, transformers, or other sourc-
es of strong magnetic fields.
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 play-
back 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 sur-
face.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the
cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the
exposed tape or allow any sharp objects
near the cassette.
