Probably the most straightforward way to achieve this, if at all possible,
is to set your cassette recorder to mono.  This way, it will output a mono
signal which should then come equally through both speakers.  The problem
you speak of can occur, for example, if you plug a stereo pair of
headphones into a mono socket.

Cheers.
