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 switched on?
eNo
audio
output.
Have all connections
been done correctly?
Degraded sound quality: Are the heads
dirty or magnetized? Are you using good
quality tape? Is the NR selector in the
correct position?
Unable to select the record mode: Are
the record protection tabs of the tape
in place?
