TAPE CARE TIPS
Erasing a Cassette Tape
To erase a previously recorded section
of a tape, simply record over it. To erase
the entire cassette tape, let the tape
record to the end without the radio, TV,
or another source playing.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser,
available at your local RadioShack
store.
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase-protec-
tion tabs — one for each side. To protect
a recording from being accidentally re-
corded over or erased, use a screwdriv-
er to carefully break off one or both of
the cassette tape’s erase-protection
tabs.
If you want 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 tab hole.
Notes:
Be sure you cover only the hole
originally covered by the erase-pro-
tection tab.
Removing the erase-protection tabs
does not prevent a bulk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.
