I have a new Sony Microcassette Transcriber M-2000 and cannot figure out how to ERASE a tape that I've transcribed. The Operating Instructions don't mention that feature, either. Can you help me?

Probably has a bad sensor belt (small belt attached to silver and black reflective wheel).

Head unit needs azimuth adjusted

check the headset and or the headset connection.

You no longer need to demagnetize heads they aren't the same inductive materials they used to be. To clean you just need alcohol and a cotton swab. Clean head and capstan roller and capstan.

Hello,

This unit does not have erase. You can use a microcassette tape eraser which you slide the tape thru.

Hello unfortunately this unit don't have a erase function the only thing you can get a Microcassette eraser this eraser will help even if you decide to buy any micro or mini cassette transcriber when you used the erase function on the unit the life on the head, rewind, gears and motors get reduced by using this method if you used and eraser it erase the tape Magnets are on top and bottom eliminating the need to flip the tape allowing complete erasure on one second heare is a eraser you can buy and it is cheaper than buying other unit. http://www.tvps.com/Products/ECS-ME20-Mini--Micro-Cassette-Eraser---New__VE-ME-20.aspx

Hold down the 'Erase' button and press the 'Rewind' button. It will erase the tapes as it rewinds.

Hello I recomend to send you unit to service Send an email to [email protected] or call (800) 644-9525. Please indicate model, serial and detailed description of problem or maybe another is to get a refurbished unit http://www.tvps.com/Products/Sony-M-2000-Micro-Cassette-Transcriber-In-Box---Factory-Refurbished__SO-P-M-2000-Box.aspx

Just talked to Exec. Communication Systems. He said that the play motor is not turning (the rewind and fast forward uses a separate motor) and the problem is either the belt or the motor. They can repair them at $82.00 plus parts and shipping.

I have a Soney Transcriber BM-840. 'When I press the erase/rewinder buttons, the tape IS NOT erased. What am I doing wrong?
