Topic: tape won't advance on record

[admkrk]

planning to tape a local band at a little dive tonight and set up for a test run using a da-30. i get levels and everything, but the tape doesn't move . an i overlooking a simple step? i can always use my d8, but would prefer to lug the big deck for this one.

need help, please!

running analog input: mx-100>unbal rca.

input set to analog
                 unbalanced

when i hit the record button it lights up and i get level readings. the tape just won't move. it'll rewind/fast forward and there's no problems w/ playback.

if i push pause then play it plays fine. it's just when i try record, nothing, the tape won't move no matter what button i push.

looks like i need to start chargeing up some batteries

thanks again for your efforts moke  +t

stupid *%^$&#$^ bitch screwed up my ride , so i still end up w/ nothing. at least the d8 would have worked.

yep, tryed all those.   tryed them again just to make sure.  still nothing

when i hit the record button the pause doesn't light, or if i hit it after.

don't have the manual so i have nothing to go by, it took some getting used to  the d8, so i was thinking maybe i missed something on this deck as well.

 "...and GOOD LUCK!"

i'll need more than that the way it looks, but it can't hurt.
