Description : You notice steps in the tape pack such as those in figure 2-3. What causes this and how does it damage the magnetic tape?
Last Answer : Pack slip. It's caused by loosely wound tape on a reel that is exposed to excessive vibration or heat. The vibration or heat causes the tape to shift, causing steps in the tape pack. The uneven tape will then rub against the reel's sides and the recorder's tape guides.
