Pioneer CT-W205R Low Left Recording Channel

Hi everyone,

My CT-W205R is having a recording issue with the left channel. It does record, but at a much lower level than the right channel.

The strange thing is that it was working perfectly until a couple of days ago. So far I've:

Cleaned the head several times with isopropyl alcohol;
Tried a different RCA cable;
Tested the tapes in another deck, and they played back correctly.
Has anyone experienced something like this or have any idea what might be causing it? I was thinking about giving it a more thorough cleaning, but I'm not convinced that's the problem since it started happening so suddenly.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
