The way I can get a tape unjammed on my Sony camera is to remove the
battery, plug the camera into the AC charger that is plugged into the
wall outlet. Then power the camera on, wait a few seconds. Then unplug
the charger from the outlet, wait a few more seconds (camera still in
"on" position) and then plug it back in. I have used this method at
least 3 times to get the camera to release the tape and finally eject.
However, the tape is usually pulled or stretched and I use a small flat
head screwdriver to wind the tape back in, but expect that portion of
the video to be ruined and I don't recommend using the tape in the camera again even if you manually wind it forward past the problem area.
