Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette
when tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or al-
low any sharp objects near the cassette.

Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's coating can accu-
mulate on the tape head and other parts that the tape
touches. This can reduce the SCP-88's performance.
Follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts
after about every 20 hours of tape player operation.
1. Remove the batteries.
2. Open the cassette compartment door.
3. Press to expose the tape-handling parts.
