If you take the cover off, you may be able to see wassup in there, although most head assemblys have abunch of crap around them. My video camera has a bent sliding arm that hangs the cassette when inserting and just lately, on ejecting. Good luck.

should be very easy....probably 3 phillips head screws on the top to take the cover off (the SLV-N50 and N500 have 3 screws, so I assume this one does too). Once you take the cover off, you might need to take the front faceplate off (just held on my tension-release tabs). Then, just start seeing what the deal is, the tape was probably just eaten a little bit, should be very easy to get the tape off of the internal rollers
