Technics RS-B40 - starts recording when powered on
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help here. My old RS-B40 cassette player has recently started to go into recording mode when powered on. If a blank tape is left in the deck it will start to record at the point it was stopped (normally the tape will be at the end of it's run or I will have taken it out at the end of play - but on the occasion I've stopped it mid way through it will start recording over the content when powered up again). Any help would be much appreciated Many thanks, Steve |

Check the timer start switch - usually a three position switch labelled rec/off/play or something similar. Make sure it is in the off position. Then check its contacts.
