(140-1218)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 18432

PLAYING THE RADIO

1.  Connect the headphones or speakers to the SCP-75.

2.  Set RADIO to ON.  One of the OPE/BATT indicators lights.

3.  Set FM ST/FM/AM to the desired band.  Set it to FM ST for stereo sound
    on FM stations.

4.  Rotate TUNING to select the desired radio station.

5.  Adjust VOLUME to the desired listening level.

    NOTES:  For the best FM reception, fully uncoil the headphones' (or
            speakers') cord.

            The AM antenna is built-in.  Move the SCP-75 to improve AM
            reception.

            To improve reception for weak FM stereo stations, set FM
            ST/FM/AM/ to FM.  The sound will be mono, but reception should
            improve.

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

7.  To turn off the radio, set RADIO to OFF.

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

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

2.  Set RADIO to OFF.

3.  Set the tape select switch to NORM for normal bias cassette tapes or
    to CrO2/METAL for chrome or metal cassette tapes.

4.  Set DOLBY NR on the back of the SCP-75 to IN if you are playing a
    cassette tape that was recorded with Dolby B noise reduction (see
    "Dolby Noise-Reduction"). (below)

5.  Set the reverse mode switch to the desired position (see "Using Auto
    Reverse"). (below)

6.  Press PLAY < >.  One of the OPE/BATT indicators lights and the tape
    begins playing.

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 THE TONE CONTROLS

You can use the tone controls to customize the SCP-75'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 tones
             below normal bass tones, or toward NORM to decrease them.

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

USING FAST FORWARD AND REWIND

When the tape is stopped, press << or >>.  To stop the tape before it
reaches the end, press STOP.

CAUTION:  To protect the tape when the tape is fully wound to either end,
          press STOP to release fast-forward and rewind.

SETTING THE TAPE DIRECTION

You can change the tape's direction using the FWD/REV switch.  To listen to
the tape's forward side, set the switch to FWD.  To listen to the tape's 
reverse side, set the switch to REV.

USING AUTO-REVERSE

The reverse mode switch lets you choose either of the following automatic
reverse options:

One-Time Playback:   Set the reverse mode switch to this position so the
                     cassette player plays one side of the tape,
                     automatically reverses the tape's playback direction, 
                     then plays the reverse side of the tape.  After the
                     reverse side of the tape plays, the cassette player
                     automatically stops.

                     NOTE:  If you set FWD/REV to REV, the cassette player 
                            plays only the reverse side and stops at the
                            end of that side.

Continuous Playback: Set the reverse mode switch to this position so the
                     cassette player alternately plays each side of the
                     tape until you press STOP.

DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION

The SCP-75 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 higher level to cover tape hiss. When you
play a Dolby NR encoded cassette tape and set DOLBY NR to IN, the SCP-75's
Dolby noise reduction circuit decreases these sections' volume.
