TAPE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
The following suggestions will help you get the best performance from your cas-
settes and cassette deck.
STORING YOUR CASSETTES
Keep them away from excessive dust and dirt.
Do not expose them to moisture or high humidity.
Keep them away from strong magnetic fields that can be generated by other
electronic devices (transformers, motors, and so on).
Store them in protective plastic containers. Your local Radio Shack store offers a
complete selection of tape storage containers.
ERASING TAPES
Each time you record on a cassette tape, the previous recording is automatically
erased.
If you want to erase a tape without making a new recording, load the tape into the
cassette compartment and press
RECORD
. The deck erases the tape as the
tape passes the record head. If you want to quickly erase a tape, you might prefer
to use a bulk tape eraser, available at your local Radio Shack store. It erases both
sides of an entire tape in a few seconds.
Note:
The built-in microphone records any sounds in the area onto the tape as you
record. Be sure to place the radio in a quiet area if you want to erase a tape by re-
cording over it.
ACCIDENTAL ERASURE PREVENTION
All cassettes have erase-protection tabs. When in place, these tabs let you record
on the tape. Once you remove these tabs, you cannot press
RECORD
. To avoid
erasing or recording over Side A (or 1), break off the Side A (or 1) tab with a screw
