Beocenter 5000
Afternoon all just tried to play a tape but no audio, deck very muffled, radio all OK.
Any ideas? Tried other tapes and LP's, still the same. Many thanks, Steve. Last edited by Station X; 3rd May 2021 at 1:41 pm. Reason: Readability. |

Re: Beocenter 5000
If it was just the tape playback then I would say first give the heads a good clean.
But if same problem when playing LP's then gets more difficult, would try cleaning the Tape/Record Player /Radio selector switch (s). David |

Re: Beocenter 5000
Sorry to say it would appear to be a short between the tape and deck, as i eject the tape the deck starts to start any ideas anyone?
Thanks |

Not entirely clear what you are explaining. Do you mean an electrical short between the tape and tape deck, if so what leads you to that conclusion ? Are you saying that when the cassette is ejected that at the same time it goes into Playback mode and tries to play the tape before it ejects ? David |

Re: Beocenter 5000
Hi Dave I don't know what else it could be, it now when playing deck if i just eject a cassette the deck just stops ie arm returns turntable stops.
Thanks Steve |

Re: Beocenter 5000
OK Steve, so by deck you mean record deck/turntable as opposed to tape/cassette deck.
Does sound strange, is it only the eject operation that stops the turntable or could other operations/physical disturbance do the same ? David |
