DA-30 MKii Question....Am I Stoopid?

Hi everyone, I've had a project studio in my home for over 10 years. I had gotten out of working in it for the last 4-5 years, and heve recently decided to start up again. Upon going over my equipment, I was trying out my Tascam DA-30 MKii DAT machine. Everything powers up, everything plays, but for some reason, I can't get the thing to go into record mode. Now granted, I'm not remembering everything about using this machine but my question is as follows:

Is the machine broken/not working properly, or am I just suffering from brain malfunction and not doing somethins right?

I thought you just ran the machine in a similar way to a tape deck, pressing the play and record buttons. I'm trying this, but it will not go into record mode.

Any help?

Mike
 
Are the record protection tabs in the safe position on the tape shells? This is to prevent accidental erasure.

That might explain it?

Cheers! :)
