 1531 Datasette loading problem

Hi experts,
I have bought a cplus4 machine and a 1531 Datasette, and it is looks fine, start playing after 'LOAD', 'PRESS PLAY ON TAPE', etc.
I have lot of casettes with programs, but none of them are loading perfectly the tape does not find the program's header, anything.
I modified the 'screw' on tape from the beginning to the end (it is almost unscrewed totally happy ), but neither was the correct settings.
Anybody has a similar problem? Or should I have to try another thing? Do I need to set something else?
Thanks in advance.
Andras

I used wire with 5-10 KOhm register between Audio/video pin 3 (sound, fb6) and cassette pin 4 (cst rd, fb11). This small soldering (inside +4) sends tape sound to tv, etc... It was very usable for me.
