Erasing Tapes
To record over a cassette tape, simply record as usual. The
cassette deck records over the previous recording. To erase the
entire cassette tape, set
to
and do not load
CD/RADIO/TAPE
CD
a CD. Then start recording and let the tape record to the end.
Or, set
CD/RADIO/TAPE
to
TAPE
and press
RECORD
.
You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a Ra-
dioShack 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 recording, use a screw-
driver to remove one or both of the cassette tape's erase-
protection tabs. This prevents
RECORD
from being pressed.
If you later decide to record on a tape side after you have re-
moved 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.
