Hey all... I ran my UA-5 on Friday and had a weird experience. After the first set (which recorded fine) I ejected the tape from my D100 and changed the batteries, then loaded my same 90m tape back into the machine. When I tried to record again, I kept getting "Tape Protect" for some reason. Anone else have this problem? I didn't figure out what the problem was and never did get a signal again that night. I ejected the tape again to double-check the plastic tape protect switch hadn't been moved, unplugged all my gear and hooked it back up, reinserted the previous set of batteries and even tried a brand new tape and nothing solved the problem.
Yesterday, marc0789 came over and we tested the UA-5 with 2 different DAT decks, 2 different 7-pin cables and had no problems sending digital signal with any of them. My D100 heads seem to be pretty clean plus it automatically defeats SCMS so I don't think that's the issue. The only other thing I can figure is the digital signal from the UA-5 > D100 somehow acquired a SCMS setting on it and I couldn't record anymore. Any ideas or suggestions? Again, it seems to work fine now but I'd hate to have the problem again when I'm recording live.
Thanks...
Steve
