TAPE TIPS
Recommended Tapes
Tape quality greatly affects the qual-
ity of the recording. We recommend
extended-range or low noise type 1
regular length (60 or 90-minute)
normal-bias cassette tapes. We do
not recommend long-play cassette
tapes such as C-120s because they
are thin and can easily tangle.
Recording Over or Erasing a
Cassette Tape
To record over a cassette tape, sim-
ply record as usual. The cassette
deck records over the previous re-
cording.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eras-
er available at your local RadioShack
store.
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 protect a recording from being ac-
cidentally recorded over or erased,
use a screwdriver 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 removed 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.
