RE: Advent 201 Cassette Tape Deck

Hi geezer,

I would think you need to verify the Advent playback works in both channels before testing recording. But first you should clean the heads on the deck as well as pinch roller and tape guides.

You say your receiver "isn't working properly". Have you checked to see if output works on one channel at least? If so, and assuming you have a cassette for a test (otherwise you should be able to pick one up for pocket change at a thrift store), connect first one channel from the Advent to that channel input in the receiver, test for playback. Then connect the other other channel output on the Advent to that same input on the receiver and test again. This should determine if one or both playback channels on the Advent work.

Once you do that you can follow 6bq5's suggestion to test record.
