tape jammed in sony vcr player....help!

[Wheatmaster]

i can't get the tape out of my sony SLVN51. is there a manual switch to eject the tape or something? the small tape icon on the lcd just blinks when i try to eject it

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.

lol nah my mom watned to record somethiing and it jammed. i got it out. apparently sony vcr players only need a unplugging to fix

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
