Cassette decks have sensors on the reels which tells the deck when the tape is at the end. When the reel stops the deck switches the direction of the tape and sometimes the position of the head(depending on the deck design). Most common problem is the tape is hard to turn, or the deck won't turn it ( deck thinks it's at the end, click, still won't turn, click, won't turn, click) you should fast forward and/or rewind your tapes from start to finish once in a while to keep them lined up(narrow spool/less friction), you shouldn't have to but it works. BUT,...your problem sounds like a slipping or broken belt/or dirt causing the problem. Take the deck out to have a look and clean the capstans(rubber rollers)belts,heads with alcohol and a Q-tip while your at it. Dirt's usually the main culprit and if you do have some other problem, cleaning it is always a win/win (It will also sound better clean)
I'm sorry that the Camcorder is not ejecting tape. Please follow the troubleshooting steps provided below and check the operation:
1. Please make sure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Perform Reset by following steps:
1. Locate the RESET button behind the LCD panel of the camcorder.
2. Use a pointed object (like a ballpoint pen) to press and hold the RESET button for 2-3 seconds.
3. After 2-3 seconds has elapsed, release the RESET button.
3. Perform a manual power reset by following the steps:
1. Turn off the camcorder.
2. Disconnect AC power adapter.
3. Remove the battery pack.
4. Move the POWER switch to the CAMERA position for 15 seconds.
5. Move the POWER switch to the OFF position.
6. Reconnect the AC power adapter or reinsert the battery pack.

Thank you for using Fixya. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.
1. Open the tape cover fully until it clicks open. 2. Turn the camcorder on to "VCR Mode." 3. With the cover still open and the camera in "VCR mode," take out the battery. 4. Put the battery back in--out should pop your tape.
I'm not sure what timer you have. Programmable timers are made so you press-and-hold the button, and then display goes up through the numbers as you describe. I test timers, and have not seen the fault you describe. 4-6% of timers arrive defective. However you have several timers that do the same thing. If you press the button once, then the first number shows, press button again and next number shows.
If your timer is going up through the number with one push of the button then try resetting timer. I cannot identify your timer to know what the reset steps are.
Also, many timers you push the + button to go up through the numbers, and push the - button to go down through the numbers > try both buttons since one may be made for individual selection and other for acceleration through all numbers. If timer operates on 120V, perform circuit analyzer test on the circuit to eliminate electrical as source of problem. If this is a hard-wire timer, carefully review of wiring.
If you find the specific source of problem, add a comment.
Try taking off the battery and reinserting it to see if it resets mech,If this doesnt work you wil have to bring to service.Dont go at it yourself as you could cause serious problems,
