Hi all, I just bought a Denon DN-790R off ebay and there's a slight issue with it that I was hoping someone could chime in on and help me with?
It plays great once it gets started, but more often than not, on pressing play, it plays without any audio coming through then stops and makes some internal noise, then tries again. It can go through this process up to 3 or 4 times before it plays the tape properly. Once started, it plays fine and passes the audio signal through. I've noticed that the one motor on the right is spinning when it isn't working properly, but is stationary when it is playing properly (and delivering an audio signal). I tried to capture it on video for clarity.
I am wondering whether this is an easy fix or if I should return the deck? I really love the sound quality of it though!
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
