two ways, buy a mini dv cleaning cassette, two if you do not have one, put the cam in play mode, hit play, than fast forward button for a min, the tape going fast sometimes cleans the head. not just fast forward but play, than ff so the tape is hitting the head, other than that, the cam has to be taken apart and the heads cleaned with the proper cleaning solution and PROPER brush as not to hurt the fragile heads

Mini-DV tapes have a small physical switch on them to protect the contents from being overwritten. It is probably just that this switch is set, not a problem with the camera.
Possible that there is errors due to many reasons but the most possible can be:
A faulty drum servo - failure of drive or hall IC
A faulty capstan drive.
A struck up loading mechanism
Failure of the dew sensors, end sensors.
Shorting or high current drain in circuits.
If you are referring to the JVC GR-DVL520, yes it does play Mini DV tapes, as well as records to them. It will not play Mini DV tapes that were recorded on an HDV camera. HDV is used by any Mini DV camera that records HD video.
First power off the unit, then remove the DV's tape housing , power up the unit, and allowed the mechanism to go back to the unload mode, make sure that the tape posts are at unload mode. then unplug the vcr back again, put back the tape's housing in the load position (tape in) power the vcr back on and push eject button to reset tape mechanism.
note error codes displayed - if camera shuts off
immediately ; if tape is inserted ? put camera to
your ear and apply power : if more than one motor
sounds ( or sounds ' jerky ' ) your tape may be
damaged - no user serviceable options left ;
if no tape is inserted ? check with stacy
