("Alex Coluzzi") ISO: Tamar - The Roxy LA - Jan. 24th (dan) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: michael lopez Subject: more on dat tape compatability Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2006 19:30:33 -0800 (PST) ...most important to remember: once you align the heads on your deck, the tapes that were recorded on them, will in turn be out of line with the re-aligned deck. before you have your decks worked on, it will be wise to clone your tapes from the deck-to-be-aligned to your "reference" deck...and make sure to include all relevant info on decks used, dates etc when you label the clones to prevent future confusion - as you may need to clone again if the "reference" deck, in turn, needs to be re-aligned. as such, i have several masters that no longer play on any of my decks, though i have clones that play on them all. mikeL From: Subject: Re: dat tape compatability Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 11:31:23 -0600 (CST) It sounds to me like the heads on your jvc-xd-z507 home deck are mis-aligned. That's why tapes recorded on that deck do not play back properly on any other deck (and why tapes made on other decks may not sound quite as good on your home deck). While it's always a good idea to keep capstans and pinch rollers clean, that doesn't sound like your problem. Have the heads aligned and you should be good to go. rockcat ============================== From: WILLIAM MCKINNEY Subject: dat tape compatability Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 20:28:28 -0800 (PST) I have several decks that I use at home and at work. I do taping at both places, and I can't seem to use the tapes made on my home deck jvc-xd-z507, on any other deck, even the jvc-xd-z507 at work. They do play but sound distorted or smeared. When the tape made on my home jvc is played on a Panasonic sv-3800, it sounds smeared and the cleaning light comes on. If I play it on any portable sonys again they sound smeared. However, the tapes made on the jvc at work, (same brand of tape), sound great on all decks. Does anyone have sugestions. My thoughts are to replace the pinch roller on all decks, clean all rollers and see if the tension adjustments are the same in all like decks. Any help would be appreciated.
