My Tascam MSR-16 which I collected a month ago had an odd problem. Pre-recorded tapes play back ok, but when I want to record some new material, the led meters indicate there's sound going through the machine, but it won't record. When I playback the tape, only a very, very faint recording is heard (when turning the volume all the way up). What might be the problem here?
I gently cleaned the tape path and heads using a mild cleaning compound (Commandant no. 4) as used to clean car paint. For this, I removed all heads and put them back again.
