Follow these steps to play a cassette tape.

1.  Set the L/R VOLUME controls to their lowest setting.

2.  Take up any slack in the cassette tape by turning the hub with a pencil
    This prevents the tape from tangling in the tape mechanism.  Avoid
    touching the tape with your fingers.

3.  Pull open the cassette compartment door.

4.  Insert a cassette tape into the guides on the compartment door with the
    cassette's open edge facing up, the side you want to play facing out,
    and the full reel to the right.  Then close the door.

5.  Press PLAY.

6.  Adjust the L/R VOLUME controls to a comfortable listening level.
    L VOLUME controls the sound from the left speaker and R VOLUME controls
    the sound from the right speaker.

    NOTES:  Press FAST-F to fast-forward the tape.  The button locks, PLAY
            releases and the tape fast-forwards until it reaches the end of
            the tape or you press STOP.

            To rewind the cassette tape after playing it, turn the tape
            over and fast-forward to the desired position.

7.  The SCP-71 automatically stops the tape when it reaches the end.  To
    stop playback sooner, press STOP.

TAPE TIPS

TAPE QUALITY

For the best performance, use only regular length (60- or 90-minute)
cassette tapes.  We do not recommend long-playing cassette tapes, such as
C-120s, because they are extremely thin and can easily tangle in the
playback mechanism.

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 turn the tape over and fast-forward to the end of
the other side.  Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each side of
the cassette's outer shell on a flat surface.

NOTE:  Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it.  Do not touch
       the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette.
