TAPE TIPS
STORING CASSETTE TAPES
Do not expose cassette tapes to high temperatures, high
humidity, dust or dirt, or motors, transformers, or other
sources 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
playback sound quality to deteriorate.
To restore the sound quality, fast forward the tape from
the beginning to the end of one side, then completely re-
wind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each
side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
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.
