Remove all guards on the deck to expose the tape heads. Plug in and switch on the demagnetizer several feet away from the tape heads. Bring the demagnetizer towards the heads slowly and move back and forth across the play, record and erase heads (it is not necessary to touch them) as well as the capstan and all other metal parts the tape contacts. Move the demagnetizer slowly away and turn it off or unplug only when it is several feet from the heads.

What is tape recorder?

A tape recorder is a machine that records sounds or data onto a tape. The tape is made of plastic (mylar, polyester) with a magnetic coating on one face of it. The magnetic oxide coating has its magnetic properties altered as it passes across a recording/playback head. The recording head is an electromagnet, with the pole gap arranged so that it aligns with the tape, amplifiers power the head and the magnetism alters as the data does and imparts this magnetism onto the tape. On playback, the reverse happens. As the tape passes across the head, the magnetism on the tape induces small electrical signals in the head, which is then amplified. The tape is stored on reels and a mechanism involving a capstan and rubber pinch roller, pull the tape across the head at a constant speed. Tape recorders can have an open reel design, or contain the tape into an easy to use cassette. The principles remain the same.

Teac tape recorder - Where can you buy tape for a TEAC A-2340 recorder?

The Teac 2340 is a 1/4" open reel tape recorder. Once a very common high quality recording format, it is now becoming largely redundant. 1/4" tape is not as widely available as it was some years ago but it is still around and stocked by a few specialist suppliers. A search of "1/4 inch recording tape" will list several online suppliers. Remember that magnetic tape has always been expensive. A 10.5" reel of tape is likely to cost a similar amount to a low cost MP3 recorder and will not store as much audio as the MP3 player. The signal stored on tape also decays over time and is sensitive to damp and temperature changes. Despite the problems, there is still something about open reel tape decks that makes them appealing. There are likely to be a few enthusiasts who will keep alive the tradition of open reel tape for many years to come.

Who and when was the cassette player invented by?

A cassette deck is a type of tape recorder for playing or recording audio compact cassettes. A deck was formerly distinguished from a recorder as being part of a stereo component system, while a recorder had a self-contained power amplifier (and often speakers).The cassette recorder was introduced by the Philips Corporation in 1963 and marketed in 1965 as a device for vocal dictation designed for portable use. It was not intended to be a replacement for reel-to-reel recorders. It enclosed both reels of the recording tape in a small case which eliminated the need to thread the tape through individual reels.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassette_player

What is the recorder?

A strip of plastic coated with magnetic material is drawn past an electromagnet that aligns the coating according to an incoming audio signal. On playback, another head picks up this new magnetic alignment and translates it back to an audio signal.
