Re: cant play tape
The end-of-tape optical sensor is at fault. either it is very dirty, has failed or something else is detecting end of tape. many VCR's now will auto-eject the tape upon end of tape detect

Plug a monitoring headphone into the monitor socket and try to record if the sounds that you try to record with is working. With an oscilloscope check the recording head is there a sine wave signal if not then the oscillator is kaput record switch operating correctly?what is the age of the tape itself? Was it played back a lot of times? I found this when some tapes refuse to take other recordings when used a lot It is difficult to say what went wrong if you do not have access to the unit
I'm not familliar with this device but from the ERROR it spits out you seam to have a configuration problem, since it is a TAPE wich is 44 Khz SAMPLE RATE, check the sampling rate settings it might be to high or to low
Hit your camera several times with a flat hand (bottom, tape side). Its strange but it solved it for a lot of people. Firmly smack the bottom and then put the battery back on and give a it a shot.
Better tape decks, like Pioneer, may use a different mechanism for record/play than FF & REW. So it sounds like a belt or mechanical link for the REC/PLAY has failed.

try a cleaning tape first - best not to rewind
the cleaning tape because it will put back the
crud previously removed ? into your heads and
guides ( last tape to play is prime suspect ) ;
- -
digital heads wear faster than analog so a
new set of heads is next possibility but if the
cleaning tape works . . . retire your library
soon as possible .
the time and code is recorded all the time but the only way to put it on the display is to use the remote control. when plyback a tape press the time/code button(i think this is the right name of the button)on the remote. this camcorder has a different way to display the time than other cams and you have to do this every time you play something(feature does not stay on after shutting down the cam or ejecting tape)
