(140-1214)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 33707

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

1.  Set VOLUME to a low level.

2.  Connect a pair of headphones or an amplified speaker system (see "Using
    Headphones or Speakers", on Faxback Doc. # 33706).

3.  Gently lift open the cassette compartment cover and insert a
    pre-recorded cassette into the tape guides with its exposed tape edge
    facing out and the side you want to play facing up.  Then close the
    compartment cover.

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

5.  Press PLAY to begin playing the tape.

6.  Adjust VOLUME, SUPER BASS, BASS, and TREBLE to the desired levels (see
    "Using the Tone Controls", below).

7.  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 fully rewound to the beginning, press STOP to
          release REW.

USING THE TONE CONTROLS

You can use the tone controls to customize the SCP-72'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.

SUPER BASS - slide the control toward MAX to increase the volume of the
             tones affected by the bass control and lower tones, or toward
             NORM to decrease them.

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

TAPE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

The following tips can help you get the best performance and the longest
life from your SCP-72.

NOTE:  For the best performance, use only regular length (60- or 90-minute)
       cassette tapes.  Long-playing cassette tapes such as C-120s are not
       recommended because they are extremely thin and easily tangle.

RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND SOUND QUALITY

After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might become 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 completely rewind it. 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.
