I have a Cannon DC7.4v and have not used it in years. I switched it on today and tryed to open the cassette part but it was stuck. I finaly managed to open it and now i can insert tapes but when i did insert a tape the words remove the cassette came up on the blue pop out screen. Is there anyone out there that can help me i have so many memories on these tapes that i will never get back.

I've now had the same problem. With no possible way of fixing. This will be the THIRD time i'll have to send this BASTARD camera away. First Time: Sent away under warranty for malfuncting DV connection. Took forever to get back. Second Time: Sent Away under extended warranty (and I paid for postage and handling this time) because Cartridge/tape deck would not retract. Ended up that the tape head motor servo was burnt out. And I don't treat this camera badly at all. I've tried my best to keep in excellent condition. Now this...

reel sensor is the problem of your camera it is a common problem to that model,maybe the pinch roller is loosen to the post cause of the lock of that is been broke..that roller is that one that pulling the tape...only a technician can put it back to the mechanism and replace that lock...in sony service they replace the whole assembly and cost a lots...i suggest find other service center for fixing it...hope that roller is not lost in your camera...
