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?
© Tape begins running when power is turned on: Is
the TIMER function on?
© No audio output: Have all connections been made
correctly?
@ Low
sound
quality: Are the heads
dirty or
magnetized? Are you using good quality tape?
Has the correct NR System been selected?
e Impossible to enter the record mode: Are the
record protection tabs of the cassette in place?
