Try putting in a tape. Before it ejects push the fast forward and let it run all the way through the tape. Do it several times. Sometimes they just get a little "rusty" and do not want to work. I do this to get my Becker to play my tapes and sometimes it works, and sometimes not.

Hi Austin85,

Some of the cass adaptors do not make both reels on the tape move at the same time. Make sure that the adaptor you have allows the two reels on the adaptor to move together. If that is not the problem then you could have a problem with the tape section of the radio. The reels could be slowing up with the use of the adaptor. A question I would have is - does the radio play any tapes?? If so, the the adaptor is definitely slowing the internal reels of the radio enough to trip the sensors inside the radio. If it won't play any tapes then servicing the tape section of the radio is the only way to correct the problem unless you have it modified for Aux input by someone like myself. Thank you for using the forum.

Cleve,

Checked and both reels on the Monster adaptor move together.
Tapes play through w/o ejecting. (The heads may be dirty or they drag a little slow but they don't eject. )
What did you mean by "...a problem with the tape section of the radio.."?

Or any other suggestions?.....Thanks,
Austin

Tapes play through w/o ejecting. The heads may be dirty or they drag a little slow but they don't eject. I guess I can try FF on tapes to see if it loosens up the rust.
