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-87. To protect the SCP-87, clean the tape-
handling parts after about every 20 hours of tape
player operation. 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
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-
back head, pinch rollers, tape guides, and cap-
stans.
5. When you finish cleaning, press
STOP
and
close the cassette compartment cover. Then
reconnect power.
