(140-1246)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 56911

Using The Radio

1.  Repeatedly press RADIO ON/OFF BAND until the desired band appears (AM, 
    FM1, or FM2).

    Note:  FM1 and FM2 store stations in the same frequency range, but in
           different (separate) memory locations.

2.  To select stereo reception, repeatedly press FM ST/MONO. FM ST appears
    (if the signal is stereo and strong) or FM ST flashes (if the signal 
    is weak). To listen to weaker stations in mono (for better reception),
    repeatedly press FM ST/MONO until FM ST disappears.

    Notes:  The AM antenna is built-in.  Position the SCP-105 for the best
            AM reception.

            For the best FM reception, fully uncoil the headphones' or 
            speakers' cord.

3.  Use TUNING /\ or \/ to tune to the desired station using manual or
    memory tuning (see "Manual Tuning" or "Memory Tuning" below).

4.  Adjust VOLUME to the desired listening level. 

5.  To emphasize the bass sounds, repeatedly press E-BASS (GAME) until a
    bar appears above E-BASS - ON.  Repeatedly press E-BASS (GAME) until
    the bar appears above E-BASS - OFF to turn it off.

6.  To turn off the radio, repeatedly press RADIO ON/OFF BAND until the
    time appears. 

Manual Tuning

To manually tune the SCP-105, repeatedly press TUNING /\ or \/ to tune up
or down the band.

For quicker tuning, hold down either TUNING /\ or \/ until the frequency 
on the display changes rapidly, then release the button.  The SCP-105 
continues to search or a frequency at a slower speed.  When it receives a 
signal, TUNED appears and the SCP-105 pauses on that station for a few 
seconds.  To stop tuning on a selected station, press TUNING /\ or \/.

Memory Tuning

You can manually store up to 10 AM and 20 FM stations in memory (10 each 
in FM1 and FM2).

Storing Stations Manually

1.  Repeatedly press RADIO ON/OFF BAND until the desired band appears (AM,
    FM1, or FM2).

2.  Press TUNING /\ or \/ to tune to the station you want to store. 

3.  Hold down one of the preset number buttons (1-5) or +5 then a number
    button (for preset numbers 6-10) for about 2 seconds.  The selected
    preset number and PRESET appear and the SCP-105 stores the station. 

Repeat Steps 1-3 to store more stations.  To replace a station you stored,
simply store a new station in that preset number.

Selecting Stored Stations

1.  Repeatedly press RADIO ON/OFF BAND to select the desired band. 

2.  Press a preset number button (1-5) to select a stored station, or
    press +5 then a preset number button (to select preset numbers 6-10).

Note:  Do not hold down the preset number button.  Otherwise, another 
       station will be stored in that memory location.

Using The Hold Switch

HOLD locks the SCP-105's radio or clock function buttons and E-BASS/GAME 
so you cannot accidentally change them.  To lock them, slide HOLD in the 
direction of the arrow.  HOLD flashes on the display for several seconds 
then appears steadily.  To unlock the buttons, slide HOLD in the opposite 
direction. 

Using The Tape Player 

Playing A Tape

1.  If the radio is on, turn it off by repeatedly pressing RADIO ON/OFF
    BAND until the clock appears. 

2.  Insert a prerecorded cassette into the guides with the exposed tape
    edge facing out and the full reel to the right.  Then close the door.

3.  Press < PLAY.  The battery indicator and TAPE appear and the tape
    begins to play. 

4.  To emphasize the bass sounds, repeatedly press E-BASS (GAME) until a
    bar appears above E-BASS - ON.  Repeatedly press E-BASS (GAME) until
    the bar appears above E-BASS - OFF to turn it off. 

5.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level. 

6.  To stop the tape, press [] STOP.

Using Fast-Forward And Rewind

When the tape is stopped, press << FF or >> REW to rewind or fast-forward 
it.  To stop the tape before it reaches the end, press STOP.  When the 
tape has rewound fully, press [] STOP.  >> REW releases.

Tape Tips

Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording.  We recommend 
extended range or low noise Type 1 regular length (60- or 90-minute) 
normal-bias cassette tapes.  We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes 
such as C-120s because they are thin and can easily tangle.

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 completely rewind it.  Then loosen the tape 
reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette's outer shell on a flat 
surface. 

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.
