Sony DTC1000es DAT Recorder repair

[bluetomgold]

Does anyone out there have a service manual for this machine? There should be a way to get it into test mode (by shorting two pins on the PCB).

The capstan motor is not running and I can't work out why.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi There,
I'm working on a Sony DAT recorder, prof version with aes ebu etc. This unit does have the same problem as you have had once I think.
Cassette does load but no play and rewind etc. tape load mechanism works but no play and no turning head!

What did you find out about this? Or do you have a service manual allready?

kind regards Dirk Sloos

I think I can get a manual, it may take a few weeks though...
