CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accu- mulate on the tape heads and other parts the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the SCP-86. You should clean the tape-handling parts after about every 20 hours of tape player oper- ation. Your local RadioShack store sells a complete line of cassette deck cleaning supplies.

1.Remove the batteries and disconnect any other power source.

2.Open the cassette compartment cover.

3.Press Manual backgroundManual background PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts.
