The cassette compartment opens to release the tape.However when you replace the tape and push to close the cassette compartment - the camcorder goes through the cycle of closing the compartment and returning to open it again.If there is no cassette placed in the compartment it closes the camcorder.
SOURCE: the cassette holder isn't closing......and the tape is not loading
Hi
See if this works--If you are on battery there may not be enough power .Charge the battery or use the the mains power through the transformer and see if it works.
Hope this helps

The way I can get a tape unjammed on my Sony camera is to remove the battery, plug the camera into the AC charger that is plugged into the wall outlet. Then power the camera on, wait a few seconds. Then unplug the charger from the outlet, wait a few more seconds (camera still in "on" position) and then plug it back in. I have used this method at least 3 times to get the camera to release the tape and finally eject. However, the tape is usually pulled or stretched and I use a small flat head screwdriver to wind the tape back in, but expect that portion of the video to be ruined.
