Why does my Marantz Cassette Player sound warbled?
- M
  Michael LaneJul 30, 2025
  If the sound from your Marantz Cassette Player is warbled or distorted, it could be due to several reasons. The heads, capstan, or pinch roller might be dirty and need cleaning. Alternatively, the tape could be wound too tight; try fast forwarding or rewinding it to loosen the winding. Also, check if the recording input level is too high and adjust it accordingly. Finally, the tape itself might be worn out and have 'drop-outs,' in which case you should replace it.
