Sony TCS-310 - Preventing Accidental Erasure; Erasing Without Recording

To prevent accidental erasure
When the recorder is operated in the record mode, previous
recordings are automatically erased. For this reason, cassettes
incorporate a safety device to prevent accidental erasure. When
the small tabs at the rear of a cassette are broken out, an inter-
lock on the recorder will be activated, preventing recording.
To protect a side A recording, break out the tab of that side.
For the protection of side B, break out the tab of side B.
When the cassette is installed with the tabs broken out, the
® button cannot be depressed.

Break out and remove the tab.
To reuse a cassette for recording after the tabs have been
removed, simply cover each slot with a small piece of cellophane
or vinyl tape.
@ Do not stick any material on any part of the cassette except
the circled portions, as shown.
Erasing without recording
A cassette can be erased without adding a new recording by
inserting the minipiug of the RK-128 connecting cord (supplied) in
the MIC jack and setting the recorder in record mode.
@ The phono plugs of the cord should be left free.
