Guys. I have been to AudioKarma, and SoundonSound trying to get an answer to my problem. I just purchased this preowned Recording Deck, from a what I believe to be a reputable Store, Tarpon Technology inc. Upon receipt, I inserted an old PNY 32MB card, which is what it uses for audio storage. It recognizes the card as Blank Card, as it should after formatting in the deck. It goes into recording mode exactly as shown in the user manual. However, the meters never move and no sound goes on the card.
I can format this card in the computer, and can record on it, and play the music on the computer. Reinstalling it into the Marantz, it recognizes the card, but will not play the music. BTW, the computer does not recognize the card when connecting to the deck through a USB cord.
I ordered a new card from Staples, but they sent me two compact flash 32GB SDHC cards, not CompactFlash (CF) cards. So I still don't know if the deck is bad, or the card.
Do you think it could be the card?
