Insert the frame and take the slack out of the tapes at the front of the frame after carefully making sure the attack on each is set properly at the heads. Tension a single tape until you get 9 seconds at proper pitch and then set all of the others to match it. You should have no further problems.In a message dated 7/19/2011 1:51:12 P.M.

I don't know if it is extra length of the frame , the springs (they are more lax) or the roller return assemblies. Any one have any experience with these things?

Sounds like you just entered it, pretty decisively, for the "have been known to 'mess' if it improves the overall experience" camp :)
In any case, I don't know what "messing" (if any) has been done on the M4000D, but I bet it's a better experience that waiting 6 minutes for the Pindertron CD to load in my Akai!
