The only time I had a loading/unloading/wrinkling tape problem as described (once, about 9 months ago), I ran my headcleaning tape for a couple of 20-second cycles and never had the problem again... Also - if your tape misloads/tangles/wrinkles - get it out of the deck, throw it away, run a headcleaner, and use a fresh tape - at worst, you've only lost $2.00-2.25. dave n on 2/28/03 7:50 AM, Todd Romero wrote: > From: Todd Romero > Subject: Re: help needed - M1 problem > Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2003 03:47:12 -0500 (EST) > > > first of all, you shouldnt be using 90m tapes in an M1/D100. the manual > even specifically advises against it and says there could be problems. > > the second issue is with the newer Sony DGP tapes. i think they say DDS-2 > in them now?

I've recorded all 3, with sbd patches at SJK and Duarte shows. Duarte only has one request...that being that you send a copy of your recording to the fan club prez for the archives. Not an unreasonable request. He allows both audio and video recording. Mark ------------------------------ From: "Wayne Brissette" Subject: Anybody taping Box Set?

Like how long their show runs this time around? About what time I can expect them to take the stage? Is there another act that plays before the Goo Goo Dolls?
