Remove tape from sony dcr hc47 which won't switch on

SOURCE: sony dcr-trv6 unable to load tape in deck

This is a common problem. The code indicates that the sensor for the supply reel has indicated lack of motion. If you have a cleaning tape, try it first because if the head drum hesitates, reel error codes often appear. If this doesn't help you are in for a service situation. There are other electronic failures that can cause false codes and operations in many cases. These usually involve cable connection failure. You still need a qualified servicer. Good luck, magic seadog

SOURCE: I have a tape in my Sony dcr-trv 350. It will not eject.

open the door
put down on the tape
move back and forth with significant pressure
caring not to destroy the eject lock mechanism

I had the same problem with my sony

Buy a Sony-make head cleaning cassette and play it in the camera for 10 seconds. Do not play for more time, neither forward or reverse the cleaning cassette, otherwise you will damage the head of the camera. This cleaning cassette is to be thrown when it is fully played (and not rewound!).

SOURCE: Cannot re-insert the tape cassette into DCR-HC47.

Have the same problem, tryed an authurized repairshop.
They couldnt fix it without sending the camera to an other repairshop with specialized sony tools.
So they could fix it for about 200euro.
