TROUBLESHOOTING
Basic troubleshooting of a cassette tape deck is
similar to troubleshooting
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?
© No audio output: Have all connections been made
correctly?
e@ Low
sound
quality:
Are
the
heads
dirty or
magnetized? Are you using good quality tape?
Has the correct NR System been selected?
@ Impossible to enter the record mode: Are the
record protection tabs of the cassette in place?
@ Impossible to enter the record mode: Are the
record protection tabs of the cassette in place?
© Impossible to record from the LINE IN terminals: Is
a microphone connected?
