It sounds like your Sanyo camcorder may be experiencing a problem with the loading or ejecting mechanism. This could be caused by a number of issues, including a damaged or broken cassette mechanism, a malfunctioning loading or ejecting motor, or a problem with the camcorder's control board.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could try the following:
- Make sure the camcorder is clean and free of any debris or obstruction.
- Check the cassette for damage, such as broken or bent spindles, and make sure it is properly seated in the camcorder.
- Try using a different cassette to see if the problem persists.
- If the problem persists, you may need to have the camcorder repaired by a professional.
Keep in mind that due to the age of your camcorder, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new one rather than repair the old one. However, if the camcorder has sentimental value or is no longer in production, repair may be the best option.
