Firs clean heads, Then cgeck for dBx jumper cable in the rear- these all have to be in for the unit to work. Then if that does not work put unit on back- remove bottom cover and the retaining bar and the reseat the third card down- make sure to line up the connectors and not to bend any pins. If this does not work then the unit needs to be sent or taken to a Teac repair person- I am in Chicago and another is in New Jersey. Other shops may charge you a lot of money but they may not fix it- that is what my customers tell me that has happened to them.

SOURCE: I have a TEAC 3340 reel to reel recorder and

No, that would require slowing the capstan or making its diameter smaller for the rpms it turns now. Sorry.

In short, no. if you look closely you will see the Teac 3340 has a much larger/thicker capstan shaft than other Teac reel decks. This feature allows the faster tape speeds...7 1/2 and 15 ips. In order to slow down the Teac 3340 you would have to change the flywheel to one from another deck that was made to run at 3 3/4 and 7 1/2. Which is possible but some work..plus you would have to find a slower speed flywheel from another Teac deck. Also to maintain performance, the bias and Eq positions for the slower speeds would have to be readjusted from 7 1/2 and 15.

Just measure the diameter in MM and put the result into google with the words 'cassette drive belt'. Belts are not maker specfic.

Teac a-3440 will not play

Hi Gary,
This makes me think the Capstan Shaft is not turning either due to a broken or stretched belt or that the capstan motor itself has stopped working. This may be a job for a Technician. You first determine if the Capstan is turning or not- this is the metal post that contacts the Pinch Roller that rotates and is the way the deck gets it's speed regulation. If it is not turning look inside the deck from the side to see if the flywheel is turning and that the belt is on that flywheel. Lastly make sure the capstan motor is turning.
Beyond that a Tech may have to take over from there. I am in the Chicago area and can repair it if you are close. Many people send me units from all over the USA anyway.

Hello, I am the owner of a Teac DVD Receiver DLR 700 and associated 3 channel amp A-L-700P. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to play mp3 cd's on the appliance. I use it for music and radio...

I know that this sounds obcious but you need to connect the audio leads (L and R) from the player to the amp as well as the control connecter before you connect the speaker cables from the amp. Otherwise just connect the speakers direct to the player.

My TEAC AG-V7700 has A and B channels. I am trying to play A and B channels simultaneously but it seems I can play only one or the other. I thought all A-B channel receivers also permited A+B... I...

The TEAC AG-V7700 does not appear to have the capability to play A and B channels simultaneously as it only has the option to select one or the other. This means that it is not possible to combine the A and B channels to create an A+B channel. You can refer to the user manual to confirm this information or contact TEAC customer support for further assistance.

My TEAC 3340S (no, there is no "A" prefix) has three faults: 1: Plays back on channels 1, 2 and 3 but not 4 - unless the "simul sync" switch for head 4 is changed from normal to simul sync. 2: Records...

From what you are describing the firmware or software in the receiver is distorted. The firmware is a chip inside the unit that tells it what to do when the micro switches are pushed. So it is getting the wrong signal from the firmware.
