To my knowledge most user manuals explains how to remove tapes. But if you never did this before, leave it to a service centre, because when something goes wrong, you could damage the tape. I guess you have to bring the library to a service centre. Please ask them to remove the tape and send the tape to you.
I was trained to remove all kinds of tapes from all known systems. But it is to difficult to tell this in only a few posts.

If the power comes on, just try to switch off and disconnect the mains. Then reconnect the mains cable and switch on again. If the error keeps coming back > > repair centre. The power supply is different from power supplies, you usually use in a PC, so if it is a power failure you can't solve it.

    Manually Removing a Tape Cartridge If problem-determination procedures identify the tape drive as the source of the problem and you are unable to eject the tape cartridge using the eject button, reset the drive to recover the cartridge: 1. Press and hold the eject button for 10 seconds, then release. The status light turns amber and the drive starts through its hardware test process. When the hardware test completes, the status light turns green. If a cartridge is in the drive the status light flashes green until the cartridge is rewound. The status light turns solid green when the rewind is complete and the tape drive is ready. NOTE: Allow at least 10 minutes for the rewind process to complete. 2. To eject the cartridge, push the eject button one more time. If the tape cartridge still will not eject, contact trained service personnel for assistance. NOTICE: If you are not a trained service person, do not attempt to open the drive for repairs as this will void your warranty.

Tape is stuck in vcr

Someone will have to take it apart---usually it is a problem with the mechanism that loads/unloads the tape or the transport mechanism that moves the tape---the latter winds the tape back into the cassette and if fails it will hang up and or mangle the tape.

Tape did not eject

if the tape can not eject by press the button, you can only unload it manually, but you'd better ask an expert to do it, such as me, haha.

I have this same prob about dcr hc38 getting mssg c:32:11 does anyboby know what exactly does it mean thx

This error code is the system control microprocessor reporting that it has been unable to complete the cassette unloading process before timing out.
This condition can be caused by a mistimed mechanism due to mechanical shock or excessive force( eg. trying to force the cassette door open). It may also be caused by tight or faulty cassette tape loaded in mechanism.

Tape not ejecting from drive after 60 secs pressing eject button. I can hear it 'clicking' but no attempt to eject the tape is made. I would be very grateful for some advice regarding what I might do next.

can you detail the model No or compaq spares No for the drive - the clicking makes it sound to me like a DAT but unable to proceed without more info.

If it is a DAT (compaq used both Sony and HP mechs) try disconnecting the scsi cable from the scsi card, rebooting the drive and trying again.

If that doesnt work try a 00pt screwdriver in the manual eject point of the drive and unload manually (about 1000 turns!)

Failing that try www.tape-drive-repair.com as they are pretty good price wise for a repair / exchange

Unable to unload pictures from camera to computer

I would never use my camera to transfer pix to computer. I would buy a (usb or other) card reader and save wear and tear on camera.

VCR tape stuck

Yes, it is a mechanical problem. While the tape is in fast forward the gears are engaged and locked to provide drive to the spindel on the right, however when you press the rewind button without hitting stop, the gears try to engage the spindel on the left without stoping and reversing (changing rotational positioning), this causes the motor to stop (this emulates a tape jam)the tope is left in and the unload mechanism never spools the tape back in because the motor has stopped. To free the tape, what I do is open up the unit and find the main motor check to see if the belt has slipped, if it has not try to manually spin the motor to engage the unload mechanism and eject the tape.
