If that tape deck of yours has an audio line out jack (like the RCA red & white holes, usually located at the back), get an RCA plug to connect it to your stereo receiver's line in jack..... or
if that tape deck of yours doesn't have an audio line out jack but, instead, has phones (or headphones) jack (usually located at the side or front of the unit), then get a plug to connect it to your receiver's audio line in jack (RCA type, also coloured red & white).. Usually the plug is small so you may have to use an adapter for your tape deck's phones jack.

Both decks are run using belts. If the belt on deck B is slipping, the stop sequence will not complete and the door will remain closed. You can open up the top and watch the sequence for deck A and move the motors/gears by hand on deck B to release the door. Once this is done, have the unit serviced. The parts (belts) should cost around $3 each. Add the local labor rate for the complete repair cost.

The problem here is that the unit is stuck in a partial position. The "reset" by unplugging and plugging back in usually causes the unit to reset to a known position. If there is no activity (no motor sound), it will need to be opened up and reset manually. If you hear the motor running for a short period, it is attempting to reset, but the belt is most likely worn or broken. These units are relatively simple, but a bit tricky to dis-assemble. This repair should not require anything other than a belt or 2. Figure on $3-$10 for parts plus the local labor rate for the repair.

Make sure you have the correct model # and go to the Yamaha web site. There is no K-700 but there is a K-720 (I have this tape deck).

Belts for decks are universal, there are plenty of places on the web selling them. Parts for a Denon from 25 years ago is another matter. However I think you might need only the belts, as the longer tapes speed problems suggest that it's the load that's causing the belts to struggle. All you need to do is measure the diameter of any belts for replacement. HOWEVER before you remove them make a note, or photographer, how and where they fit.
Use Servisiol Video 40 to clean the rollers and head.
Testimonial: "Thanks for your reply. Hopefully it has set me on the right track. (Was worried capstans or motors were the problem). "
SOURCE: I can't find the manual
Place the tape you want to record into the left deck, Then the blank tape into the right deck. Press play on the left deck and record on the right deck.
It may be opposite depending on which side your recording deck is on.
Which ever deck has record, place blank cassette into that one and the cassette you want to copy into the other deck.
Hope this helps and please rate thanks

What are you hooking it to? Some people think that a deck hooks up to speakers directly- that is not right, you need a receiver or amplifier of some kind that takes in a line level (-10dBu) type signal.I can help if you give more specifics.Skywave Tape Deck Repair
