RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND
SOUND QUALITY
After you play a cassette several times, the tape might be-
come tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback
sound quality to deteriorate.
To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the
beginning to the end of one side, then turn the tape over and
fast-forward to the end again. Then loosen the tape reels by
gently tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat
surface.
Caution
: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping
it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects
near the cassette.
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-98. Use the follow-
ing cleaning procedure 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.
