SONY BM-147 TRANSCRIBER

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/353242/Sony-Bm147-Cassette-Transcriber.html

Hello,

No, this unit does not have an erase feature. You would need a magnetict tape eraser such as a BE10.

1. Try to change the tape speed on your machine. Sometimes that will fix it.

2. Maybe the tape is just old (has been dictated on too many times) and in that case, have the person dictate on new tapes and discard the old ones. They dont last forever.

Hope I could help!
