There's either damage in the drive section, or more likely and in some cases "plus" the Mode Switch is set in the wrong position or is faulty. The mode switch tells the electronics what position the VCR mechanism is in. Such as play or fast-forward. If in the wrong place it will carry out other functions - such as eject - in your case.

check the tab on the back side of the tape- make sure its intact- if tab is missing it will not let you record - i've sometimes added tape to replace the tab ,,

This happens when he strings are worn out or broken. It will not hurt to replace the strings of the VCR after some while.

The machine's head will need to be cleaned. They sell head cleaning tapes or you can use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
SOURCE: I took out some 2001 9/11 taped back then.
You can purchase a VCR cleaning tape that will do the job. However the best way is to buy a can of Servisol Video 40 (small one will do and it will last a long time) then remove the top cover of the VCR. Spray the VCR heads. Shinny Silver things and any moving parts that the tape touches. If your not certain what to clean, with the cover off insert a tape and press play. Remove the tape and spray small amounts on the surfaces. If you can see a lot of dust you can wipe the heads etc with a cotton bud. A VCR housed in a smokers house will need extra work to get it clean. Once dry you can test a tape. If you see flecks or spots the VCR will need further cleaning.
