Foot pedal FF or Rewinds when pressing Play

The past two weeks I've had problems w/the foot pedal either FF or rewinding while pressing play & nowhere that I touch on the play part will it play. . . sometimes the FF part of the pedal won't work either. Yesterday while using it, when I pressed on rewind, it played instead. It seems to be totally out of whack. My husband fiddled with it a little bit & it started working, but then quit after testing it a few times & is back to FF or rewind while pressing play.

It's possible that there's a broken wire in the cable that connects the foot control to the machine. This usually happens near the plug that plugs into the machine, or by the end that goes into the foot control.

You can usually duplicate it if you put the auto-backspace up a bit and then hold down the play pedal on the foot control. While holding down the play pedal, try moving the cable near the machine or near the foot control in a circular motion. If the machine stops, rewinds or fast forwards, then odds are that the problem is with the cable.

Panasonic RR-930 does not backspace with or without pedal. It engages the mechanism but appears stuck when tape is inserted. Runs fine without tape in deck.

The ancient tape is junk. Buy a new one. You might also try slamming the old tape against a wall or desk to loosen up the tape layers. Then FF and RW all the way.

When I take my foot off the pedal it rewinds farther than it should

Hello on a BM-147 there is only one adjustment responsible for auto back space when you used foot pedal and that adjustment is next to the Display is call Reverse Time that controls the reverse function when you take foot control off from play but if the problem is when you take the foot off on REW and unit keeps going you have a bad foot pedal you can get a replacement at http://www.tvps.com/Products/ECS-Sony-IN-75-Heavy-Duty-Foot-Pedal---Pre-Owned__ECS-PIN-75.aspx

Pedal problems

If the tape re-winds when you take your foot off the pedal then the auto-rewind switch on the right side of the machine at the back is set to number 3. Move it forward to number 1 or 0. If it really does rewind while your foot is on the pedal then I don't know what is causing that. Sorry.
