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-97’s performance.
Follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts
after about every 20 hours of tape player operation.
1. Remove the batteries and disconnect any other
power source.
2. Open the cassette compartment door.
3. Press PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts.
4. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol
or tape head cleaning solution to clean the play-
back head, pinch rollers, capstans and tape
guides.
