ERASING

TAPE:

When

the

recorder

is

set

in

the

mode,

the

Erase

Head

will

erase

the

track

(or

tracks)

of

the

tape

for

the

corresponding

tracks

of

the

recording

head.

Therefore,

when

you

start

a

new

recording,

any

previous

recordings

will

be

automatically

erased

as

the

tape

passes

the

erase

head.
