Hamacher-Schlemer sells this unit and states that it automatically comoensates for tape stretch. Does it?

There is nothing about automatic compensation for tape stretch in the user manual.
935526
As far as I could tell, it doesn't compensate automatically. There is a manual control that lets the user change the tape speed by small increments, up to + or -10 percent, for playback. The user manual says the switch doesn't work during recording. It doesn't say whether you can change the setting while a tape is playing. They do warn you not to have any slack in the tape.

I don't know. I doubt it as I don't see how it could. I suggest to read the specifications from teac.

I would also add that the quality of the copied recordings is excellent, far better than I had hoped with the source being a cassette tape. Sound is as good as any commercially produced CD.

It is a good unit. It is a bit odd to operate. The controls seem to be laid out peculiarly. It plays tapes well, I have not recorded a CD yet. As far as the tape play end, It's good ,but, not audiophile quality. I don't know if it compensates for tape stretch, but, it does seem to play a range of old cassettes pretty well.

I'm not certain. I have some older tapes that squelch. But it does have a pitch control that helps. The tapes play in very high fidelity as do the CD's. I've enjoyed the machine immensely. Recording is pretty automatic once you learn to use it.

I have played some old tapes and the sound is perfect, the unit has been flawless so far, highly recommend!

Dunno if it does. I have yet to use the new component, but it's connected and ready. I agree with a couple of the other remarks...the manual wasn't real clear to me. I'm hoping I can adjust/compensate somehow once I start playing with my mountain of cassettes! Yes, I would use this Q & A feature to get some opinions before ordering. I read a number of user reviews before I order practically anything.

Don't know if this will help or not. I have a different (older) Brother P-Touch which also uses the TZ tape. Mine is a desktop model that uses batteries. Anyway, the way mine works, you push 'Function' and then the number '8'. This gets you to the 'Tab Length' menu. It will probably be set to 'Auto'. Next, use the up and down arrows to get to 2-inches (I think it will display 2.0"). Mine goes from 0.0 to 4.0 inches. Hope this helps. If you get a chance, would you let me know how you like the handheld model? I'm thinking of getting one.

Yes, I believe it does. I use it by holding on to a wall or chair, then leaning my heal down so my toes rock up. It provides a great stretch.

I wae introduced to this unit in P/T as a device to stretch neck vertibrae. It works. Check out website for "Zynex Medical" for explicit detaii. Jack

No, it does not. However, the edge where the tape starts is very easy to find and to pull up, even though it is sticky.

You are so right. I did not realize this until i went to play back what i had just recorded and discovered it was not there. That's when i realized i had reached the end of the tape without knowing. If you get an answer to your question please let me know. I assumed it was a flaw in the design i had to live with. More power to you at least you asked the question. Good luck ~Kindly~Renate

huh, I have never had that problem. I am thinking though that you may have gotten a bad batch or something. How many different times have you used the tape? If only once then I do not know. But if you keep using the same tape and taking it off and putting it back on, it would do that. If its the latter, start over. The tape is just worn out. If it is neither I suggest getting another tape roll and putting it in. That should do it. Good luck!

Yes, it does. However, the feed of the paper causes there to be a surplus of the second tape and you have to remove and tear off occasionally.

yes there is some stretch. I love mine. I through my cell phone in with cd player for convenience.

No. "At the end of the tape, playback stops and the unit turns off automatically."

Instructions say it stretches to six feet but I have never used that stretch feature. It is a coil and great to lock your laptop and prevent someone from taking off with it when it is secured to a stationary object.

no, but i shaved a little off my clip with extention on it, with a knife, little tight but it works,it will stretch some.

It's easy. Just mark where you want the ends of the tape on both sides. Stick the end of the tape firmly on one end, then unroll and stretch it across before pressing it down. It might help to have someone hold the other end down if you have a long way to go across.

It dose stretch slightly. But I would not really use it for resistant training.
1827307
Yes, I do. Works great when you get the correct tape setting on the machine.

Yes, the tape sticks to itself and it streches.....the trick here is to wrap it tight, & overlap the hole properly. I make my own Garden soaker hose's, by drilling holes in standard hose. When I want to block an area off...I use this tape & it holds. If it holds that kind of pressure, it will hold your tube pressure easy.

I think it's referring to the liner side of the extension, not the tape. The tape is double sided so I think it has to be about the extension.
