I have owned a denon DN-610F cd/cassette combo deck since it was brand new in 1996. The problem now is that both cd and Cassette stop soon after I turn them on. I do not get a song out of each by the time they stop. What is the problem?

Is this one of the units that has a ribbon cable ( looks alot like an IDE hard drive cable) that connects all the components together? It also has a squre plastic fan that protrudes slightly from the rear (by about a 16th of an inch)? If so, it's the power module which consists of 2 boards (along the fan housing). You can probably find replacements for about $70, but I wouldn't bother. They quit making new replacements several years ago and any board you get now is just a pull from old stck units.... and they fail about 2 minutes after you put them in. Pioneer knows this but still sells the defective parts.

How does one take the cover off?

I wonder if it has a counter and if so, is the belt that drives the counter too loose? Is the counter working?

SOURCE: aiwa z-1800, cassette deck problems,

The auto reverse is a two part system, the heads are moved and the motors change direction. Slipping belts, broken gears, dirt in the gears can all cause this type of symptom. These are decent units and I would invest in a general overhaul to bring it back to factory spec. I have done a number of these in the past and would recommend the overhaul. Expect $10-$20 in rubber parts plus the local labor rate.
