Possible cause
Is the erase-prevention tab
removed?
Is it a normal tape? (You cannot
record on a metal or CrO tape.)
Is there any slack?
Is the tape stretched?
Are the capstans, pinch rollers,
or heads dirty?
If a power failure occurs during
playback, the heads remain
engaged with the tape. Do not
open the compartment with great
force.
Possible cause
Is the AC power lead of the unit
plugged in?
Is the battery polarity correct?
Are the batteries dead?
Is the distance or angle
incorrect?
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 aerial or AM loop aerial
placed properly? Move the aerial
away from the AC power lead if it
is located nearby.
