CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accumu-
late on the tape heads and other parts that the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the
SCP-84. Use the following cleaning procedure after ev-
ery 20 hours of operation.
1. Remove the batteries and disconnect any other
power source.
2. Open the cassette compartment door.
3. Press
PLAY
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
STOP
and close the
cassette compartment door. Then reconnect power.
Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of cassette
player cleaning supplies.
