That wsn't the type i have i have a m-2000 asking if it erases recorded tapes

Hi Julie,
If yours is a cassette or other type tape recording answering device - check that the tape hasn't broken. If a digital recorder / or cassette tape type, be sure that the recorder isn't full or that you're at the end of the tape. Erase / delete old messages to recapture recording space. If you need more help, please provide the model number of your device.

There are two types: Cassette and Digital. Which one (Model #) do you have?

In the cassette model, press ERASE and Fast Forward.
Failing that, you may need to record over the whole tape.

The Digital modells will allow you to erase one file at a time.
You may have to press PLAY and then ERASE while the file is playing. If that does not work, press ERASE at the beginning of the file.
It will ask you if you are sure you want to erase it.
If YES, then press ERASE again.

In either case, the erased files are not recoverable.

Hello,

This unit does not have erase. You can use a microcassette tape eraser which you slide the tape thru.

Hello sorry the M-2000 don't have the ERASE feature but your only option is to get a tape eraser you can get one at http://www.tvps.com/Products/ECS-ME20-Mini--Micro-Cassette-Eraser---New__VE-ME-20.aspx just think positive your unit will last longer the eraser prolong the life of units just pass the microcassete once on the eraser and is done full erase :)

Hello Sorry but this unit don't have a erase funtion, your only option is to get and eraser you can find one at http://www.tvps.com/Products/ECS-ME20-Mini--Micro-Cassette-Eraser---New__VE-ME-20.aspx

to erase tapes all you need to do is record over the stuff already recorded on the tape. There isn't any easy method to simply erase a cassette tape, unless you have access to a strong electro magnet

Hello unfortunately this unit don't have a erase function the only thing you can get a Microcassette eraser this eraser will help even if you decide to buy any micro or mini cassette transcriber when you used the erase function on the unit the life on the head, rewind, gears and motors get reduced by using this method if you used and eraser it erase the tape Magnets are on top and bottom eliminating the need to flip the tape allowing complete erasure on one second heare is a eraser you can buy and it is cheaper than buying other unit. http://www.tvps.com/Products/ECS-ME20-Mini--Micro-Cassette-Eraser---New__VE-ME-20.aspx

Hold down the 'Erase' button and press the 'Rewind' button. It will erase the tapes as it rewinds.

While holding the 'Erase' button down, press the 'Rewind' or "Fast Forward' button. It will erase the tape while it rewinds or fast forwards.

In reading the pamphlet that came with mine, I noticed that it says that when a recording is made , the previous recording is automatically erased. I guess you can only erase it by recording over it, which is stupid.....I can't believe they didn't put an erase button on it!
