I am hoping that someone can suggest a likely cause for the following problem I've recently encountered. My 3-year-old Sony cassette deck is unable to record on any of three 5-year-old Memorex chromium dioxide tapes. The VU meters register an adequately strong signal while recording, but on playback the signal is barely audible. The deck records just fine on all newer tapes, suggesting the problem is not in the deck. However, a bulk eraser can successfully erase the Memorex tapes, and a friend's Aiwa cassette deck can record on them well, suggesting the problem is not with the tape. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dave Capka purdue!dmc dmc @ purdue
