SOURCE: SANYO VCR VWM-900 playback is jerky
Hi,
Your post/description indicates that possibly the brake mechanism of the supply reel is acting up. A typical VCR has 2 reels inside that spins the tape. The left side is the supply while the right is the take up. If the brake (on the left/supply) is engaged (even partially), then the entire mechanism would have a hard time pulling the tape around the video/audio head and would partially be stretching. This would represent itself as jerky audio/video in most instances. There would possible also be a low screeching sound coming from the machine/tape. An indicator would be stretched tape - there would be uneven edges of the tape.
Since this is an electro-mechanical problem, perhaps your best course of action is to seek the services of a qualified video machine technician.
Alternately, it may be possible to loosen things up by first fast forwarding the entire tape and thereafter rewinding fully before you play it.
Hope that this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things worked out or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.

This needs a little bit of care but essentially you will need to unplug the power from the VCR then do the following:
Remove the top cover
Then with the front of the VCR facing you look to see if any of the tape is wound around a large metallic silver drum, that is tilted upward and is not flat, at the rear of the tape casing. If so then it means that it has wound around the drum and you will need to retrieve the tape to allow the eject mechanism to work. Do not touch the shiny polished part of the drum. To get the tape in usually means that you have to locate a plastic or metal cog wheel, usually on the right side of the VCR that you can turn with your finger. This makes the VCR motor move. Also there is one that works the tape eject mechanism. If you can find the one to wind in the tape before working on the one for the tape eject than you stand a chance of rescuing the tape, if not then it will get some damage. Don’t worry about turning the cog wheels with your finger as you can do very little harm to the VCR with no tools involved and no power on. Moving the cogs this way will only cause very small movements with the tape motor and eject so you will need to be a little patient and you will soon see what is happening. Once remove run a cleaning tape through the VCR before you use it again. With the limited space available her it is difficult to give you much more info.
SOURCE: A VHS cassette is stuck within the insertion slot
Hello,
Remove the VHS from the wall. Get a Phillips screw driver that can fit into the screw of the VHS player. Unscrew all the screws so that the top cover can be removed in order to gain access to the internal part of the player.
Plug the VHS power cord back into the wall, turn the VHS back on, the stuck cassette should like kind of want ot go in or come out.
Use your hands to either push it out or in. Also, check if the cassette tape is not stuck by anything in the player.
You will need to apply some force (but not too much) to get the stuck cassette out.
Also, if the cassette refuses to come out, disassemble the mechanism and the cassette would come out freely.
The mechanism is the metal that the cassette enters into the player.
I hope you understand the above.
Good luck.
