It means I can't monitor playback.. Thanks in advance, Jo Ok, so I might’ve spoken a bit too soon—Any idea why the record function LED is still blinking once the Buss’ are in safe mode?

I think it worth asking the question via that form. Maybe they can advise of an equivalent if they no longer stock official drive belts. I'm sorry I can't help further - I was just glad to get mine working without having to replace the belt. I would be interested to hear how you get on. @Otto

You're probably right. But the thing is that the original belt doesn't work either. Maybe too old, and in that case, i don't know the model. Thanks for the quick answer.

Dare I say "from using a rubber band" Basically a rubber band isn't a great idea for this because: * It stretches * It perishes - it will fall apart in 6 months to a year, and go slack well ahead of then. So when you press the buttons, it is probably stretching rather than providing traction. If you did get it to play, you'd probably find the speed varied. You really need to find a proper drive belt at the right size which : won't stretch and won't rot. Worth asking Tascam if they stock the part. http://tascam.com/contact/parts/ @Otto Matt

Once again thank you very much for your fix. I replaced the belt with a rubber band, and now, my play button is working! But there's still a few problems: The "rewind" and "forward" buttons are working like 1 out of 5 times. It's really annoying. Do you have any idea where does that come from? The play button doesn't work at all. Same question. Thank you very much! Hello, creacog. Once again thank you very much for your fix.
