the rear of the cassette.
When the cassette is held with the recorded side upper-most and exposed tape facing the front,
the protective tab will be found on the right rear of the cassette.
All pre-recorded cassette are protected in this way to prevent accidental erasure of the commercial
recordings. "Protected" cassettes will prevent the CASSETTE RECORD button from being operated.

been removed. Recording on a cassette in which the tabs have been removed can be done by
covering the tab openings with a piece of adhesive tape.

until all traces of oxide deposit have been removed. A range of cassette care products are
