CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's coating can accumulate on
the tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This
can greatly reduce the performance of the SCP-103. Follow
these steps after every 20 hours of operation.
1. Remove the batteries and disconnect any other power
source.
2. Open the cassette compartment door.
3. Press to expose the tape-handling parts.
4. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape
head cleaning solution to clean the play head, pinch
roller, capstan, and tape guides.
5. When you finish cleaning, press and close the cas-
sette compartment door. Then reconnect power.
Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of cassette
player cleaning supplies.
