The issue with the shuttle arms in the play position on a Sony SLV-690HF that prevents them from releasing when there is no tape in the machine could be due to the Cassette IN switch being pressed by the Cassette IN lever, causing the mechanism to assume a cassette is present. This may prevent the shuttle arms from releasing properly.

To fix the arm movement issue on a Sony SLV-690HF, check the following components:
1. Neutrality Arm and RK Bar Movement – Ensure that the neutrality arm and RK bar are moving properly in the direction of the arrow marks as described in the manual. 2. Pendulum Gear and Idler Gear (T) – Verify that the pendulum gear is correctly meshing with the idler gear (T) and rotating as expected. 3. Springs and Arms – Inspect the spring (ACE) compression (part no. 3-960-439-02), arm HC (part no. 3-958-508-02), arm neutrality (part no. 3-960-139-01), and arm pendulum compulsion (part no. 3-960-138-01) for any damage or misalignment. 4. Timing Belt and Cam Gear – Confirm that the timing belt and cam gear are properly engaged and not slipping. 5. Capstan Motor and Loading Gear – Ensure that the capstan motor and loading gear (T) are functioning correctly and not obstructed.
If any part is damaged or out of place, replace or realign it accordingly.
