hey everybody, im a total noob here and i just scored a sweet tascam midistudio 688 that im really hoping to get some help with.
i've got the manual and i followed instructions to get to recording, but this unit doesn't seem to PLAY at all.... when i press play, i can see the casette 'reel' starts to move but doesn't, almost like when pressing play on a tape at the end, where it can't spin in that direction any more. i thought maybe the motor is dead (?) but ff, rewind work fine, but it just won't play (or record)
is there a magic function im missing, or
is there a hardware problem with this unit?
i went thru the manual but nothing. hoping someone here has some experience with these and can help. thanks in advance
