[@svenschwingel8632]

Great video. I have been a DAT fan for ages and your information is really welcome.

[@mandoman5]

Well done! Thanks for posting.

[@madsenamplification]

Great video. Saved pt. 1 and 2 for future reference.

Great informative video! I've done tons of VCR's in my past days as a tech, but never a DAT deck. Looks familiar, though.

[@nycdogs]

excellent video - thanks!

Hello, I have a SV DA10 and error rate is between 0-30 approximately when playing. Is it well serviced then? There are rare peaks around 50-60. Tipically 0-30.

[@edaudio]

All things considered, that's good

Hi, could you help to me ? i got a panasonic sv-3800, the tape run, play, foward and reverse , no error code, but no sound, what could it be ? thanks in advance.

[@edaudio]

You need an oscilloscope, for starters

[@CharlyGrand]

@@edaudio Ty.. I have one.. and I followed your video.. now there's sound but almost between 30 to 60 errors per second... could be end or beginning of the head end life? Thanks for your reply.

[@edaudio]

I'd have to see it, but maybe your problem is pinch roller pressure - if the pinch is hard it may have shrunk - and those machines have clutch issues.

[@edaudio]

@@CharlyGrand without a scope, it's impossible to know. There are many more things that can cause errors than "just" the heads.

[@edaudio]

@@CharlyGrand also, if you have errors reported but no distortion, you're good.

How much does that padlock weigh?

[@edaudio]

Enough to keep the tape secure

[@SPACELABMIXING]

cool!

i search this Test kassette

[@edaudio]

You are looking for a calibration tape?

[@Audi.RS3]

@@edaudio yes

[@edaudio]

@@Audi.RS3 hard to find. You can do it with a known good tape. The tricky part is PG delay, but if you set the beginning of the envelope to the swp transition it will be very close

[@edaudio]

@@Audi.RS3 or set pg for lowest error rate

[@Audi.RS3]

@@edaudio thx.

[@heavymetalnewsdesk]

That music is incredibly distracting

[@edaudio]

It's not very loud. The music in my other video is quite sedate, by comparison

[@heavymetalnewsdesk]

@@edaudio what does a sedative have to do with it?

[@edaudio]

@@heavymetalnewsdesk sedate = calming
