Cassette deck keeps recycling
I've got a standard CRV cassette deck which has begun doing this:
Load a tape and PLAY lights up; the pinch roller keeps trying to engage the capstan but then retracts and tries again. It'll do this about four times, then ejects the tape.
I've tried using different cassettes and it's consistent--won't play any of them.
Tried cleaning the head but it won't engage the cleaning cassette either.
Any help?
Thanks
