Help with Panansonic sv3700?

I used to do a lot of live taping but haven't in a long time. I now want to get
my DAT masters onto my MAC for archiving. So I purchased a used Panasonic sv3700.
I don't have the manual. Here's my probelm. The deck came on Friday. I can't get it to play
any of my tapes. I can't figure it out. It appears to be working
fine. It powers up. It will fastfoward and rewind tapes. It won't show any abs time though. The only
counter mode that works is the four digit PNO mode. When I hit play that counter shows the tape advancing
but the meters show no music. I plugged in headphones to see if it's just the meters but no sound.
I've tried 60m, 90m, audio, data, every type of tape I have and none will play. It's as if the machine just
can't read the tapes.

Anyone have any ideas?
