VCR keeps ejecting the tape

ELECTRO MED SERVICES is partially correct with his answer but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be that complicated. First unplug the unit remove the cover and use 90% isopropal alcohol on a cotton swab or q-tip and clean off all of the metal pins that stick up and ride against the tape while it plays, then clean off the big rubber roller that pinches the tape to pull the tape at the correct speed. this is where most often the problem lies. the tape will get sticky and will bind up slightly. Then a there's a sensor on the left side that puts tension on the tape, if that sensor feels the tape is being pulled to hard and has no slack it will shut the player down and eject the tape. Another thing try another tape, that tape may have some hard rolling hubs or spindles. You can also try fast forwarding the tape to the end and then rewind it to make sure its not just rewound with something rubbing inside the tape case it's self. Sometimes the tape case will get deformed over years and it will rub on the tape spools inside and it will cause that sensor to trip when the tape starts to become hard to pull through the player. Also you can clean the big silver head but be careful no make sure you leave no residue on it. look at it with a magnifiying glass to make sure it's cleaned and free of any residue. 1 last thing that happens also is the automatic tape head cleaner will act up and cause problems, you can easily just remove that from the player and see if thats the culprit.

Try different tape if prob. is only on 1 tape ffwd then rew.then play

Take dvd/vcr combo aparts.Turn on the power to the machine,one hand move around the inter eject vcr port for those sensors,the other hand just keep pushing the eject button,keep doing this until the tape eject and come out.

When you put the player into rewind, is it at the beginning of the tape that it ejects? If so, it may be because you have the machine in timer mode. If you have a pre-recorded tape in a VCR, it will automatically eject the tape because you`ve not to record on a pre-recorded tape. I hope this help, Ian

my sony slvd300p dvd vcr combo is not responding to my remote control. The remote is a "RM-u66".
Got any ideas?

Please clean its Guides Loading Path and check Loading Belt, if foud lose, replace it,

The tape load carriage is defective or there is something in the way inside the machine....accordianman

no reset, the infred led inside the unit are bad and need to be replaced common problem, they are located on the ends of the tape mech.
