Denon DRW-580 will not record audio

So I have a Denon DRW-580 Cassette Deck that is fully functional apart from, recording.

The audio meters show sound activity, the tape cassette spins when the Record and Play buttons are pressed, but on playback, it is completely silent, there is no audio being recorded on to the tape.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

@prim82680 has this ever worked for you? Anything happened to it? You made sure that you still have the record-tab on the cassette? Does this go for both sides? Where are you recording from?

Thanks alot for your response and queries.

I was given the unit by a friend some years ago who assured me, it was working fine the last time he used it.

However, I have had it for a number of years also, and although I have used it throughout this time, it was only for playback and to digitalise my old tape recordings.

I have never used the Record function until recently, this is when I discovered the anomaly.

Nothing untowards has happened to the unit, ie, knocked, dropped, or a stuck cassette, at least not while it's been in my possession.

The inserted cassette is a new blank TDK. While it is recording I can see clearly that the level meters are responding to manually lowering and raising the record level with motion to the beat, and spindles are spinning smoothly.

I don't recall trying to reverse record, this is something I will try.

I am attempting to record from an RME Fireface 400 audio interface, via the headphones output.

Hope this helps.
