Check that the unit is powered on, volume is up, and audio cables are securely connected to the output. Ensure the correct input source is selected if applicable.

Clean the tape heads and pinch rollers. Check the condition of the cassette tape; try a different tape. Ensure the correct tape type (Normal, CrO2, Metal) is selected if your model supports it.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port on your computer. Restart your computer with the 202MK7 connected. Check your recording software's audio device settings.

Verify the microphone is functioning and properly connected. Ensure the microphone level is adjusted correctly and that the microphone input is selected or mixed appropriately in the unit's settings.

Ensure both decks are functioning independently. Check that the source deck (Deck 1) is playing and the destination deck (Deck 2) is set to record. Verify dubbing speed settings.
