Had this happen last night, while the deck was in record monitor mode, I tried starting recording, the "play" light came on the lcd and the record light was on, but the counter wasn't moving.....
hitting stop wasn't working, tried powering off, nada. pulled the power, tried recording again, worked fine!
THEN.... it happened again! I had to do the same thing (pull power) to get it to start recording....
Also, tape wouldn't eject afterward either, ended up doing what I had to to last time this happened: pull power, plug back in, hold eject button while powering back on.
f'n weird. tape is fine, no issues with it at all. but am curious if someone else ran into this issue ?
