Tape Loop Testing On A Preamp?


I have an old NAD 1155 preamp whose tape out loops appear to have ceased outputting anything. It seems strange to me that both tape loops would crap out at exactly the same time (common circuit?), but I am trying to find a solution, and/or a test for the tape loops that proves they are either dead, or alive.

I set up the loop between Tape 1 Play, and Record. I put on a source. Then, I selected Tape 1 record, and I could still hear music. Does that mean it is working? This preamp is confusing.
I was connecting the Line Out from my PC sound card to the Tape Out (Play) in an attempt to record one of my LPs into digital FLAC format.

Right now, I have the PC output connected to the Tuner In, so at least I can listen to what I already have.

I left all the other controls the same during the test.
