Record inhibit on D5 deck

[David Roth weiss]

Are you using a used tape, or a tape that has the record inhibit button moved to the inhibit position?

DRW,
Thanks for the try.
Anyone?! I have tried two tapes, one wit the red a / b tapes popped up and the other down. are these the rec. inhibit tabs? is there something in the decks menu that releases’s the tapes or does it by software?

[Jeremy Garchow]

Another guess here, but I know on other Panasonic decks you can enable Rec inhibit form within the menus. Crack open that manual and find out which one it is.

Popped up means they are record inhibited. Also check the menu settings.

[Rennie Klymyk]

the record (A+B) tabs must be down. Also the “C” tab (in the center by the window) is up for 4 track audio and down for 8 track.

You must go to the “HOME” menu and set F13 to recording enabled.

correct- also check the tape, some b-stock tapes will not work in the D5 it is pretty fussy when it comes to tape stock IMHO.

Thanks all. that solves some of the issues. Also, the client had got a bad deck from the rental house (kept shutting off, even while playing a tape) this was the main issue (the bad deck from rental house) Client also had a bad Kona card, AJA was very helpful.
