Tascam 48, impossible to record

[Syntiz]

Hi everyone,

I have an issue and hope you could help me.

Context:
I have A Tascam 48 (with two DX-4D) since a long time. It always worked well. I didn't use it for 3 or 4 years. Today I re-pluged it to my console. The reading of all tracks works well. But when I try to record it doesn't work.

Details:
When I set "OUTPUT SELECT" to "Input" and "FUNCTION SELECT" to "rec" on my track I see the meter (not sure if it's the right term in English because I'm french) moving when I play => so the sound goes well to my Tascam 48. When I press PLAY+REC, the red light becomes fixed, then I play what I want to record.

Issue:
Then I go back to "OUTPUT SELECT" to "Repro" and switch off "rec" on my track. But when I press Play there is nothing: the meter doesn't move and of course no sound (whereas on the same track it works well with my old previous recording).

For information, I have the documentation and tryed to understand what I did wrong but can't find. Do you think it could be due to a fuse (or something else) which would disable the record?

Thanks

For information, I just checked all of the 10 fuses and they're all good...

When I record a track, it's well erased but nothing is writen on it => So read and delete work fine. It's only writing which doesn't work (keeping in mind that sound arrive well in Tascam because meters are moving)...

It would be my tape path which has to be cleaned (I did it with alcohol and Q-tips but it changes nothing). I will search for a tutorial to make this cleaning efficient
