Possible cause
Is the erase-prevention tab re-
moved?
Is it a normal tape? (You cannot
record on a metal or CrO tape.)
Is there any slack?
Is the tape stretched?
Are the capstan, pinch roller, or
heads dirty?
If a power failure occurs during
playback, the heads remain en-
gaged with the tape. Do not open
the compartment with great
force.
Possible cause
Is the AC power cord of the unit
plugged in?
Is the battery polarity correct?
Are the batteries dead?
Is the distance or angle incor-
rect?
Does the remote control sensor
receive strong light?
Tuner
Symptom
The radio makes unusual
noises continuously.
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
Possible cause
Is the unit placed near the TV or
computer?
Is the FM antenna or AM loop an-
tenna placed properly? Move the
antenna away from the AC power
cord if it's located nearby.
