Hi,
I've been using a Sony PC8E DV cam for the last 7 years, and it's been great.
Today, I went to eject a DV tape, and reaches the half way eject point, makes lots of whirring noise, and then pulls it back in again.
Nothing I do, will get the tape to eject.
Does anyone have any tips on getting the tape out? To make a repair would cost around 200 euros I think. So buying a new cam would be a better option. However I would like to rescue the tape that's currently in there.
Perhaps some pro here has a service manual for that model?
thnx
