TAPE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Storing Cassette Tapes
Do not expose cassette tapes to:
• High temperatures
• High humidity
• Dust or dirt
• Motors, transformers, or other sources of strong mag-
netic 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 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.
