It sounds like you have a bad tape or the 8 track head has to be adjusted.

The main unit is the SA-AK270. The entire mini-system is called the SC-AK270. The manual is available on the Panasonic support site: https://www.panasonic.com/au/support/manual-download/audio/hi-fi/sc-ak270.html . You do need to accept the Panasonic terms of use to download the manual. The check box is below the box with the Manual description and View link. The clock setting procedure is shown on page 14 (with the remote). The pictures of the remote control and main unit buttons are on pages 8-9 of the manual. With the remote, press the Clock/Timer button until the Display is showing the time. Press Skip Back/Rewind or Skip Forward/Fast Forward within 8 seconds of pressing Clock/Timer to set the hour. Press Clock/Timer again and use the same Rewind/Fast Forward buttons to set the minutes. Note: the SC-AK270 uses a 24-hour clock. You can also do this by starting with the Display button on the main unit. Then use the Skip Back/Rew and Skip Forward/Fast Forward buttons on either side of the Manual Eq button. I hope this helps.
