Sounds to me like the FF button or jog wheel may have a problem. Seen things
like this before.

Hi Vincent,
Is there a lot of light getting in through the top/side? these decks
have optic sensors and can be tripped into doing strange modes with
light otherwise sounds like a faulty switch contact or something
similar. when you say play button do you mean on the set or the
remote. ~Its possible the remote if someting was spilt into it may do
that. if its not related to the remote then there may be a faulty
switch on the front panel. its certainly not a common problem.
I presume you've unplugged and plugged in again to reset the machine!

Other possible causes, dirty mode switch contacts, or poss a
capstan motor control fault , but that would be very rare. its more
likely to be one of the above.

hope this helps

Hi AW:

Right now, there has to be a lot of light as I was trying to see if
things are working with the cover off but originally, the cover was on
when the problem happened. What is weird is that randomly, it will
decide to play a tape correctly. As for the play button, I'm talking
about the button on the front panel and not the remote as I haven't
used my remote in a few years. I've already did the plug/unplug a few
times just to make sure that wasn't the problem. I'm just trying to
figure out will this be a expensive repair since I see a lot of
repairers that aren't factory authorized but don't most problems need
a service manual or will equipment tell them what is wrong? Since it
seems lots of places have a fixed labor rate but then you have to pay
for parts and I hope they don't randomly change out parts.

Cheers,
Vince

I just put the cover back on and the first play of the tape plays normally
but then the next play, it does the same Play + Fast Forward mode again.

Cheers,
Vince
