13. Troubleshooting
By purchasing this device, you have acquired a product designed to the state of the art and operationally reliable.
Nevertheless, problems or errors may occur.
Therefore, we would like to describe how to eliminate possible errors here:
Always observe the safety information.
No sound is audible:
• A device in the playback chain is not turned on.
• The wrong input was selected on the amplifier.
• The volume controller at the amplifier is set to minimum.
• The inserted cassette is not recorded.
One channel does not work:
• A cinch cable has come loose from the cassette deck or the amplifier input.
• When recording, a cinch cable has come loose from the cinch input of the cassette deck or the amplifier output.
• A speaker cable has come loose at the amplifier.
A drone is audible:
• The cinch cable is defective.
Playback is dull and subject to noise:
• The tape head is contaminated.
• The cassette used is old or deteriorated.
No recording of an external audio source (LINE IN/PLAY input) is possible.
• The copy function (DUBBING) is activated.
The recording button cannot be pushed.
• The plastic tab for the record protection at the cassette has been removed.
The audio signal at the computer is over- or undermodulated and cannot be adjusted in the software either:
• Change the level of the audit signal at the USB output of the cassette deck with the GAIN controller.
Repairs other than those described above must only be carried out by an authorised specialist.
