to tighten it up before you insert it.  
Adjust the volume when in the PLAY mode to your preferred listening level.  
Adjust the volume when in the RECORD mode to fine tune the sensitivity of the built-in  
microphone for record operations.  
Cleaning the Tape Heads  
Over time, iron oxide particles  
from the magnetic tape build
