RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND
SOUND QUALITY

After you play a cassette 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 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.
