Clearing previous recordings at higher sample rates.

["Stuart Fairbairn" <>]

I was given a large number of DAT tapes that had been used once to record
advertising material. The recordings have been made at 48kHz. I have used
these tapes in my Sony Dat8 where I record at 44.1kHz. However on playback
there is a very loud bang at the end of my recordings, where I presume the
playback changes from 44.1 to 48kHz. Is there any way to clear the tapes of
the 48kHz sampling rate before recording at 44.1kHz? Also is the generation
of this loud sound at the change over liable to cause damage to the
recorder?
