The analog out you're using should work. Since it's a standard pre-out, the output level is controlled by the preamp volume control and you therefore need to make sure the volume is turned up enough to create an adequate signal. You should be able to see this in the Nak meters, and if you're showing adequate input signal level, then there is some other issue, not the analog out - you're getting signal, just not recording or getting playback.

As Cleeds pointed out, make sure the tabs on the cassette shell are intact. Double-check the output level settings, the tape selector settings, try switching Dolby in and out, etc. This Nak has a lot of features and settings to play with, so make sure you've read the manual and have everything right, then try various settings on and off to troubleshoot. It could also be a problem with either the record head or playback head.
