help!!my casette player sort of crapped out.when i select the tape a humming sound comes through the right speaker.but when i push down on the edit button and hold it down it goes away..any ideas....

hi man,try pressing record then stop a couple of times (with either a blank tape,or a tape with music on that you dont care about,then try playing a tape again..

HEY!!!! that seemed to work out good!! how did you know that.?. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

i could just kiss you dude!!i had this problem foe awile too..funny it seemed to happen with batteries only and not the ac cord..

Its no problem man,its a common problem on boomboxes,they have an internal record lever/switch that often gets dirty and it can cause problems..its happened to me a few times in the past..Glad i could help..enjoy that box,i have a 9696 but its in poor condition,but it  sounds nice..

hello beanie my man!! now that my radio is in great health again.would i do damage to the casette player if i demagnitize it? and how would i know when and if it needs to be?? thanks,yours truly

how doo again man..no it should'nt harm it to demagnatize it,i have done it to mine a while ago,is the one you are going to use a cassette with an red l.e.d ? mine was like that..it never made any difference to the sound of any of mine,they just sounded the same..

turn the volume down when you do it or wear ear defenders man

I have used a demag unit...mind you it was the old type...like a solering iron...my point is it trashed the heads...on my technics tape deck...so I don't recommend it
