(140-1215)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 18206

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

1.  Set VOLUME to its minimum position.

2.  Connect a pair of headphones or an amplified speaker system (see
    "Using Headphones or Speakers," Faxback Doc. # 18207, Preparation).

3.  Gently pull open the cassette compartment cover and insert a
    prerecorded cassette with its open edge facing out and the side
    you want to play facing up.  Then close the cover.

4.  Set TAPE(NORM-CrO2/METAL) for the type of tape you are playing.

5.  Set DOLBY NR to IN if you are playing a tape recorded with Dolby
    NR (see "Dolby Noise Reduction," below).

6.  Press PLAY to begin playing the tape.

7.  Adjust VOLUME, E-BASS, BASS, and TREBLE to the desired levels (see
    "Using the Tone Controls," below).

8.  To stop the tape, press STOP.

USING FAST FORWARD AND REWIND

When the tape is stopped, press F FWD to fast-forward the tape or REW
to rewind it.  To stop the tape, press STOP.

CAUTION:  When the tape is full rewound to the beginning, press STOP to
          release REW.

USING THE TONE CONTROLS

You can use the tone controls to customize the SCP-73's sound.

TREBLE - slide the control toward MAX to increase the volume of high tones,
         or toward NORM to decrease them.

BASS - slide the control toward MAX to increase the volume of low tones,
       or toward NORM to decrease them.

E-BASS - slide the control toward MAX to increase the volume of the tones
         below normal bass, or toward NORM to decrease them.

NOTE:  If you set E-BASS to MAX, the bass and treble controls have no 
       effect.

DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION

The SCP-73 uses the Dolby B noise reduction system to lower the level of
tape hiss when you play a cassette tape recorded with Dolby noise
reduction.

When the cassette tape was recorded, the recorder's Dolby B noise reduction
circuit "listened" to the program to find places where you might hear tape
hiss.  The Dolby noise reduction circuit increased the music's volume so
these sections were recorded at a high level to cover tape hiss.  When you
play a Dolby NR encoded cassette tape and set DOLBY NR to IN, the SCP-73's
Dolby noise reduction circuit decreases these sections' volume.
