    14-1235.fm Page 5 Friday, July 2, 1999 11:13 AM PREPARATION INSTALLING BATTERIES You need two AA batteries to power the SCP-92. For the best performance, we recommend alkaline bat- teries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552. Follow these steps to install batteries.
  • Page 6 If the sound gets distorted or weak, replace the bat- teries. Cautions: • If you do not plan to use the SCP-92 for a week or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that corrode or damage electronic cir- cuits.

  • Page 14: Tape Tips

    14-1235.fm Page 14 Friday, July 2, 1999 11:13 AM TAPE TIPS Tape Quality For the best performance, use only regular length (60- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recom- mend long-playing cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are extremely thin and can easily tan- gle in the playback mechanism.
  • Page 15: 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-92’s performance. Follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts after about every 20 hours of tape player operation.
  • Page 16 14-1235.fm Page 16 Friday, July 2, 1999 11:13 AM 4. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning solution to clean the play- back head, pinch roller, capstan and tape guide. 5. When you finish cleaning, press the compartment.
