CARE

To enjoy your Optimus SCT -540 Dual Cass ette Dubbing
Deck for a long time:

• Keep the cassette deck dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately.

• Use and store the c assette deck only in normal tem­perature environments.

• Handle the cassette de ck gently and careful ly. Don’t
drop it.

• Keep the cassette deck away from dust and dirt.

• Wipe the cassette deck with a damp cloth occasion­ally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering wi th the cassette deck’s internal
components can cause a malfunction and inva lidate its
warranty. If your cassette deck is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShac k store for assis­tance.

TAPE TIPS

To prevent the tape from being twisted:

• Don’t pull the tape out of the upper opening of the
cassette tape.

• If the tape is wound loosel y inside the cassette, use
the tape deck on fast forward or reverse to tighten
the tape.

• If a small portion of tape is unwound from the ca s­sette, tighten the tape using a pencil.

Use a pencil to
take up the slack
and rotate it in the
arrow direction.

Erasing Tapes

To record over a cas sette tape, simply record as usual.
The cassette deck records over the previous recording.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using
a bulk tape eraser available at your local RadioShack
store.

Tape Selection

For the automatic ta pe select function to work proper ly,
metal and chrome (cob alt) t apes mu st hav e identi fica tion
holes.

Normal Tapes

Chrome (Cobalt) Tapes

Tape position identification holes.

Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape
might become tightly woun d on the reel s. Thi s can ca us e
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 tap ping eac h side of t he cas­sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.

Note

: If you use metal tape, the recorded sound might

not be erased properly.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-protection tabs — one for
each side. When a tab is in place, you can record on that
side.

To prevent accidental erasu re of a tape recording, us e a
screwdriver to remove on e or both of the cassette tape’s
erase-protection tabs. This prevents
pressed.

If you later decide to record on a tape side after you have
removed the eras e- prot ect ion tab, plac e a pie ce of stro ng
plastic tape over that side’s erase-protection hole. Be
sure you cover only the hole originally covered by the
erase-protection tab.

Caution:

Removing the erase-protection tabs does not

prevent a bulk eraser from erasing a cassette tape.

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.

Environment

Avoid using the deck in the following conditions:

• In areas with high temperatures (near a heater,
exposed to direct sunlight, for example.)

• In areas with extremely low temperatures.

• In areas where there is excessive humidity.

• In a dusty atmosphere.

• In areas where power line voltage fluctuations are
severe (in whic h case the use of a voltage r egulator
may be advisable).

Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape's coating can accum u­late on the tape heads and other parts that the tape
touches. This can greatly red uce the pe rformance of the
cassette player. After every 20 hours of tape player oper­ation, follow these steps to clean the ta pe-handlin g parts
or use a cassette deck cleaning k it (available at your lo­cal RadioShack store).

1. Remove the batteries and disconnect any other
power source.

2. Open the cassette compartment door and press

PLAY

to expose the tape-handling parts.

3. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or
tape head cleaning so lu tion to clean the tape guid es,
record/play head, eras e head, pinch roller, and cap­stan.

4. When you finish cleaning, press
close the cassette compartment door. Then recon­nect power.
