Hi, My AIWA tape deck is no longer working! When you first swith it on, it makes a strange noise, like 'tek tek tek' a few seconds then stops. The left hand side of the deck stays blocked. I have to pull it with my hands to open it. The right deck can open easy but it doesn't work either. please Help ... tHX
SOURCE: I have a NSX-V70 stereo. Tapes and CD do not work, FM/AM is fine
Your unit needs a little TLC. Let me address the likely problems/solutions:
1) Tape deck stuck - The most common problem here is that the belt has gotten slippery. This has prevented the mechanism from resetting to a known position and that is what prevents the door from opening. Hopefully when you pried it open, nothing bot broken.
2) Both tape drives run from the same motor and use different belts. The same applies to the second deck as the first. The belts are sliping and need to be replaced.
3) The CD lens is probably dirty and needs to be cleaned. The fact that the CD stops and an attempt is made to play it suggests that the optics are working enough to detect the disc. Clean the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol and that should resoplve the CD problem.
If you have not opened up these before, I would not suggest you start without someone around who has. There are 3 belts that need to be chagned for the cassette section to work. Plan on $15-$20 for the belts.

SOURCE: tape deck won't open Aiwa XR-M55
I think the main drive belt is worn and I am going to buy a new one when I find a source.
