Tape Tips
ERASING A RECORDING
To record over a cassette tape, simply record as usual. The
cassette deck records over the previous recording.
Or, you can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a
bulk tape eraser, available at your local RadioShack store.
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Cassettes have two erase-protection tabs — one for each side.
When a tab is in place, you can record on that side.
To prevent accidental erasure of a tape recording, use a screw-
driver to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-pro-
tection tabs. This prevents
RECORD
from being pressed.
If you later decide to record on a tape side after you have re-
moved its 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.
Caution:
Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent
a bulk tape eraser from erasing a cassette tape.
