The tape transporter will open correctly. When I insert the cassette into the transporter, the front door closes but the transporter doesn't move down into the camera so the cassette doesn't play. Without the cassette in the transporter, it will close properly. I have tried multiple cassettes to make sure that wasn't the problem. I have powered down and tried again. I have replaced the internal battery, and I have connected the AC adapter, so it isn't a power problem. Any suggestions for getting this to work?
Why not purchase a more up-to-date replacement ?
Nobody answered this? Well that's disappointing. I have the exact same problem now at the end of 2018 six and a half years later. Searching on.
Same here Donna, looking everywhere now-If I hit the answer I will come back here and post it!

SOURCE: Cannot insert a tape
This just happened to me today, apparently in my case it has something to do with condensation inside the camera, I don't know if this applies to you but at the moment I have the cassette slot open and in the sun, hopefully it will help, two hours apparently should do it. Give it a go, it can't hurt, I wouldn't put the actual cassette in direct sunlight though, so make sure you take that out. Hope this Helps
SOURCE: Cassette doesn't load and move down into machine
I had the same problem. With the camera on, keep taking the battery off and putting it back on. Start to close the door and then open it. Eventually you should hear it try to move. Keep doing it and it should move down all the way.

Common problem with this mechanism. In order to fix the problem you will have to replace part called CHASSIS LS. Expensive repair, probably not worth the effort.
Testimonial: "Thanks. We ended up getting a new camcorder. That Handycam was as old as I am (18 years), so it was time for an upgrade anyway."

Hi wnwatkins3,
Have the same problem here. Bought my TVR33 in 2003, and its still
a good cam with 1 megapixel. But since 1 month the tape won't load. I can insert any tape in the cassette, but it won't close. Without a tape it closes fine.
My only option is to send it to frsbenelux to fix it for a few hundred euros. Hoping to find a solution on the net, i will share with ya.
