Tape player won't play.
 

So my tape player in my rx-7 will take the tape in and spin as though it wants to play but aboslutely nothing happens. If anyone has any idea of what it could be i appreciate it. Thanks,

Ben

Who the hell still uses tapes? Time to upgrade to a cd player or a new deck with an Ipod hook up. Their not that expensive.

i hit play and my tape player works for a second and then goes into reverse. i use it since an ipod tape adapter gives infinitely better sound quality than a radio transmitter

Same thing i bought one of the ipod tape player type deals, nothing just spins. doesn't play the music.

So I'm guessing the head units with the 3.5mm AUX-IN aren't that cheap over in the US? Here it's like the minimum you can buy.

I'd say pull it out and check all the connections, particularly the speaker wires.

Speakers are definitely hooked in correctly, it plays the radio....i think the tape deck itself may just be shot...
