Thanks for responding again. Heads have been cleaned. Looking at Demagnitser next

The machine used to play and record fine on the tapes I have. It's just been stood for a while and not been used. The belt needed replacing which I ordered and replaced but the sound of a pre recorded tape and fresh recorded and playback was muffled. Will look into the demag. Not sure what you...

Yes it sounds low and muffled just on playback of tapes. I have the service manual as I replaced the belt. Could you explain what the demag does please. Also thank you for your responses so far

I did think about alignment. But couldn't find any info regarding this. It's been a few years since the unit has been used. I have tried recording and playback is still muffled on 2 separate hifi outputs.

Sound seems low and slightly muffled on this system. It's been stood for a while. Replaced the belt. Gave it a clean. But the sound seems low and muffled. Cleaned the heads and ran a couple of reels through. Seems to be getting slightly better but any ideas on how to improve or fix this TIA
