CASSETTE TAPE OPERATING TIPS
1. High quality tapes are recommended to obtain maximum quality reproduction from
recordings.
2. Tapes with playing time of 120 minutes (C-120) are not recommended because they
contain thinner and longer tape that has a greater chance to malfunction and jam,
which may damage the cassette mechanism.
3. To obtain good reproduction, the head should be cleaned after every 10 to 20 hours of
use. It is also recommended that the cassette be kept away from excessive heat or
cold.

4. If there is slack in the tape, remove the slack prior
to inserting the cassette. To remove the slack,
insert a pencil into the hub and rotate clockwise as
shown:
5. A leader tape is provided at the beginning on each cassette. There is no recording on
this area, so it is necessary to let the tape run for about five seconds to clear the head.
6. Keep the tape head clean since a dirty head
can cause distorted sound or improper tape
speed. Depress the PLAY
BUTTON (#3)
and use a small cotton swab with tape head
cleaner or alcohol to clean the tape head,
capstan and pinch roller as shown:
READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR EARBUDS
1. Avoid extended play at very high volume as it may impair your hearing.
2. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or shut off your unit.
3. Do not use while driving a motorized vehicle. This is dangerous and also illegal in
some states.
4. Keep the volume at a reasonable level even if your headset is an open-air type
designed to allow you to hear outside sounds. Please note excessively high volume
may still block outside sounds.
LINE-OUT CONNECTION
The SCR-75 features a 3.5mm stereo LINE-OUT JACK (#9) that allows you to connect it
to your home stereo system, or to external amplified speakers using a stereo audio cable
(not included).
The audio cable needed (not included) must have a 3.5mm stereo plug on one end for
plugging into the SCR-75. The other end of the cord should have a stereo plug or
individual left and right channel plugs that match the AUDIO LINE INPUTS on the device
you want to connect to.
Once the SCR-75 is connected to the external device, the volume control on the SCR-75
will not adjust the volume. Use the volume control on the external device for adjusting the
volume.
1. Clean your unit with a damp (never wet) cloth. Solvent or detergent should never be
used.
2. Avoid leaving your unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.
3. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as
fluorescent lamps or motors.
