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 it
over and completely fast-forward the other side.
Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each
side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
