I put this into my cassette player (replacing my old one that had a short in the cord). It makes "mechanical" sounds then spits out. Suggestions?

try taking it apart, the two big screws in the front, and move the wire so it comes out the other side (The Philips is designed to do this)...it sounds like its running backwards...let me know if this works...k

The controls for the cassette are on the top. the button on the side has to be on tape. The buttons on the front are for the cassette. That's crazy!! I haven't played mine in awhile and I just tried it and it plays them awfully slow so I won't use it until I find out why it does that!! When I first got it I thought it played pretty good. Also make sure the tape is up and not down. Good luck, hope this helped you. Barb

In my car cassette player the chord protrudes out too far to charge it while in the player. I have to remove it, charge it and then reinsert the adapter.

Good question . . . I never got this thing to work at all, it went in to my cassette player and the player tried to rewind it forever since there was no tape in it to stop it. I threw it away in the end.

I have the same problem, it's a fault with the chord it's too thin. you can get one from Radio Shack or similar places. Just ask for an auxiliary audio chord and they'll provide it.

Make sure your cassette is full rewound tightly. If that does not work try fast forwarding & rewinding the unit quickly

I had same problem. I found that moving the plug slightly up, down or left, right, it would start working momentarily. The connector is probably not fastened well to the circuit board. I returned mine and bought a different type. (thanks Amazon). This one works great and sounds better.

I have another brand that does that. I leave it in and switch to FM to get it to stop. When I go back to tape it works properly without the clicking and ejecting.

It does sound like a flaw in the cord as I have not seen anything like that with mine. You should give the company a call

If the device you're playing it I is close to other electronic that could happen, or if you're charging it. Happens with most devices. But if it's not playing music and making static noises a wire could be broken. But without seeing the problem myself I don't know what's up with with it. Maybe if you could record a YouTube video And respond again?

Hi Caroline,This product was horrible. I have since discarded it. Maybe I just got a bad one but it wasn't worth the effort to try another one. I tryed it with a couple of radios with the same result. It would play for a minute or two then make a loud noise and cut out and did this over and over.Don

If you are talking about the cassette, mine always floated until locking the head in place. Mine is a little tricky when locking, has to be on a bit of an angle before it locks. Make sure new cassette is snapped all the way down. Just put a little pressure on lock and move head, you should feel it grab when in position.

If you tried Sony, try again... I've tried ALL of them, kid you not, and the Sony has the best sound quality of all of them. Most all tapes will "click" a little in the player, and you can prevent that a little by sticking your finger in and slightly moving the tape around as it's playing.. sounds like a lame fix, but it works like a charm. Also, try cleaning your tape deck with a cleaner product, that helps. All n all I love the Sony adapter and so do all the people i recommend it to.

Yes, but cassette doesn't work for more than a few months. Get a better brand.

Never had this happen. My original finally just deteriorated after 12 years and I had to replace. Maybe wrap it in duct tape?

Like the sound isn't working at all? Do you hear any static or white noise? I've used this is a 96 Nissan sentra and a 2002 Nissan maxima. Make sure your radio is set to tape and try both sides of the cassette
