Panasonic transcriber foot pedal rp-2692 not backspacing.

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.

That adjustment is within the software itself. settings,general settings, player, autobackspace.

Hello,

Go to tools, then options. Click on thr User Settings tab. Click on Playback control. You will now see auto backspace at the top right of that page.

Good Luckdictationmall

With the foot pedal connected, you need to push the play button on the unit. Then the pedal will operate.

There is a switch on under the tape deck that wears out or comes loose. This is something that needs service. We can fax it. 8663219780

If neither rewind nor backspace work, the common problem would be that the solenoid grease has dried up and the solenoid is not retracting all the way. However, the track that the mechanism moves in also wears out, as well as the plastic rocker that depresses the rewind button where it engages the metal slide.

If backspace works but not rewind from the pedal then the problem is the pedal.

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.

Since it hasn't been used in quite a while the lubrication in the machine has become gummy & sticky. The cam that operates the backspace is being activated, but the arm that drives the backspace mechanism isn't being pulled on.

Machine needs a deep cleaning and oiling and then readjusting to correct this problem. (Don't spray WD-40 in it...makes it worse !)

(This repair is usually beyond what a non-technician can do.)
