Digital Compact Cassette Problem
I own a Phillips DCC-900 Digital Compact Cassette Deck. I haven't done
much with this deck for several years and hooked it up recently to migrate some digital cassettes to another format. When I first began, tapes played fine. After a week or so, random drop outs began to occur. I found some information on the service mode of this deck, and noticed it was experiencing error rates of 100 or so. Normal cassette tapes also do not play correctly either. I have tried cleaned the heads of this deck, to no avail. Does anyone have any technical information on this deck or any suggestions for this problem. Thanks. -Shawn |
