Troubleshooting

Basic troubleshooting of a cassette tape deck is similar to troubleshooting of any other electrical or electronic equipment. Always check the most obvious possible causes first. To give you a few ideas of what to look for, check the following:

No power

®Is the power cord connected?

The deck starts to play suddenly

®Set the TIMER switch to OFF.

No audio output

®Check the connections to the stereo system.

Low sound quality

®If the heads are dirty or magnetized, clean/demagnetize the heads.

®Has the correct NR System been selected?

Strange Sound

®Set the PITCH CONTROL knob to the center (normal speed).

Impossible to enter the record mode

®If the record protection tabs of the cassette tape are broken off, cover the hole with adhesive tape.

®Turn the REC LEVEL knob to the right.

Remote control unit operation is impossible.

®Press the power switch of the main unit.

®Insert or change the batteries of the remote control unit.
