Hello,

No, this unit does not have an erase feature. You would need a magnetict tape eraser such as a BE10.

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

1. Try to change the tape speed on your machine. Sometimes that will fix it. 2. Maybe the tape is just old (has been dictated on too many times) and in that case, have the person dictate on new tapes and discard the old ones. They dont last forever. Hope I could help!

If there is no sound on a channel, and you know the recording is there, then you either have a bad head or a broken wire at the tape head.

This is a common symptom when the belt and pinch roller wear out. They will both need replacement.

The unit will need service. The reel that is on the right is pulling the tape to hard. There is a clutch system that needs service.

There is not reason this would click and not turn on. If it just clicked, it would likely be caused by interference from another appliance, typically a fridge or freezer. The most likely reason is a relay in the internal power supply. It will need a Sony Service Centre. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4154/41545841M.pdf It isn't a recorded known issue. Sony are high quality equipment so it is worth getting it fixed. https://www.google.com/search?q=sony+icf-cl75ip+clicks+and+not+working ..
