Hi there. I put a tape into the Sony HVR-1500, and as soon as i did so there was a loud noise and the appearance of "error 02-503" displayed on the front of the deck. I know that this occurs when a slack tape is detected, but what shall I do to remove the tape/fix the problem? Thanks, Fergus.

Error 20 is "Cassette compartment motor lock" this is meaning the cassette loading mech is not accepting the tape It could be miss-aligned in it's position or one of the sensors is defective or the motor is bad

SOURCE: Can't eject tape from deck

On Sony DSR-80P error 02-221 and 02-291 is a problem with the tape pull-in or eject. Mostly the tape stickers are bad situated over the stripe-cover at the top, which should be moving freely!
Remove the stickers from the tape or put them lower on the case. If the tape is already inside the machine is unable to reject the tape - disconnect the machine from electricity to open it or call service...

greetings from berlin, matt.
