Guest Christopher Heston Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi, I recorded a ton of audio onto a dat tape using the Sony PCM-M1 and when I went to playback the tape on another DAT machine (the fostex pd4 and the hhb) the tape didn't play. The tape only plays back on the pcm. What the heck is going on?? -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Wengenroth Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Maybe there is some kind of lubricant on the Sony tape that will not allow it to play on a Fostex or Tascam deck? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Luke Prendergast Posted November 7, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted November 7, 2005 Not familiar with that unit but Sony MD recorders do non-standard LP modes. Could that be it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Luke Prendergast Posted November 7, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted November 7, 2005 That's very clear BUT does it use non-standard LP modes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Wells Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 That's very clear BUT does it use non-standard LP modes? Only if he recorded 32K and the HHB and Fostex don't do it. I'm not sure, I've used the HHB portable but don't remember. DAT can be weird; I did recording on a Panasonic 3700, the tapes would not play back on another 3700 but were fine on a Tascam..... -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinod subramanian Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 most probably your PCM head is slightly misaligned and therefore tape recorded on it wont play on other recorders. -vin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
