TAPE TIPS

Tape Quality

For the best performance, use only regular length
(60- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recom-
mend long-playing cassette tapes, such as C-120s,
because they are extremely thin and can easily tan-
gle in the playback mechanism.

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 turn
the tape over and fast-forward to the end again. Then
loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each side of
the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
