1. Cassette bay door wouldn't open. Then it did - but the opener-motor continued to sound. Then worked OK. 2. No longer plays cassettes. It starts and plays for maybe 2 seconds then stops. And that's it. Tried FF the tape but no result - still wouldn't play more than 2 secs. Tried that feature 'ATCS' where it looks for natural breaks in the programme. That works once - but when it tries to play the opening of the section it plays for 2 secs. Michael
