The most likely cause is a faulty mode switch.

    I would strongly suggest that you convert all of your VCR tapes - especially home movies and stuff dear to you - to DVD. I have done so myself, and am so glad I did. You don't want to lose or have those moments degraded, and constantly being even more degraded as time passes.

SOURCE: VCR tape won't eject

The flap on the door stays open until the tape is ejected. There are two possible ways to remove the tape. First, with the power off, try to locate the drive pulley or gear on the side of the tape housing. It may be possible to turn it with your finger and cause the tape to eject. The eject mechanism will move VERY slowly when you use this technique.

The second way to do it should normally be done by an experienced technician, because it involves taking it even farther apart...and it may be difficult to reassemble. There are typically four screws that hold the tape mechanism in place...two near the top front and two near the back. It should be possible to remove those screws and pull the entire mechanism out of the VCR. Then you can more easily rotate the eject pulley (or gear) and remove the tape. If this sounds a little scary, I would definitely recommend placing the top back on and acting like nothing happened!

SOURCE: Tape stuck in VCR, won't eject.

you posted 2 different problems here...
to answer this one ". The tape is stuck, won't eject and I'd like to get it out without damaging the VCR unit."...open unit, find motor that moves tape ejector and spin that motor by hand (power off)

the other problem, "the VCR will not insert a tape. It keeps rejecting it."...open unit and fully turn ejection motor until home position is reached...this is a home sensor switch not being activated.

SOURCE: tape keeps ejecting - panasonic nvfj620

The problems does sound like one of the tape loading arms that is to blame as the fuzzy picture that usually occurs in the first place is due to the tape not being loaded at the correct angle round the head drum and finally after a few more loads and when when one or more teeth actually become parted from the cog that does the loading, the machine does a mis-load stopping the reels for long enough to make both hall effect sensors stop pulsing and subsequently tells the micro that there is no tape present so it ejects the cassette. The loading arms are available as two parts left and right,it is usually only one that fails however ,I think the left one if I can remember and are available from SEME LTD or Panasonic. Sorry dont have the part numbers .

SOURCE: Panasonic 7350 VCR Keep ejecting tapes just seconds after loading

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

I hAVE 24 in DVD triple combo ^&@$DG TV. I put

You're describing what could be a loose or worn loading belt problem, most of the vcr mechanisms used in these combos use one to load the tape and thread it for it to play or record, that is why you have to keep puhing the tape untill the machine accepts the tape and you have to keep pressing play untill it starts the play function.

I have a Sylvania 6240VE vcr. When I try to rewind a recorded tape, the vcr ejects the video. I was wanting to purchase a dvd/vcr combo, but the reviews for these items are awful. I tried a Magnavox combo....

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
