reel sensor is the problem of your camera it is a common problem to that model,maybe the pinch roller is loosen to the post cause of the lock of that is been broke..that roller is that one that pulling the tape...only a technician can put it back to the mechanism and replace that lock...in sony service they replace the whole assembly and cost a lots...i suggest find other service center for fixing it...hope that roller is not lost in your camera...

It is telling you it does not see a proper type tape in the camera, is the cleaner tape a digital 8 cleaner or normal 8? as though they look the same the case is slightly dif at the rear.
