Procedure to manually eject a stuck tape (without damaging tape) and clean the mode encoder switch.
this is a common problem on all these VHS machines.

Finally got my tape out thanks to you. I had a stuck one and it was a bit different mechanism but thanks to seeing how you did it I was patient and kept rotating the mechanism to get it out. Thank you thank you!

Another great video. I learned a lot from this. I have a JVC DR-MV150 DVD/VCR that eats the tape. I will look for this type of mode switch but first have to get a soldering kit.

My cassette is stuck in a Zenith TV that plays VHSC Tapes. It will not eject. I just purchased the cassette that holds the VHSC tape. Do I take the bottom off the TV? I am 88 and female. The tape played and has re-round, when I go to eject it, the front flap comes up like it is going to eject, but it does not eject.

Hi there, awesome video.. I followed your instruction and cleaned the mode switch, however my problem persists. I have now concluded that the idler does not move at all. I find it in the position i left it when i inserted the tape. If i move it to the left it will perform rew function, and to the right it plays and fwd as it should, but only if i move it to the position manually. It also leaves tapen inside that gets stuck when ejecting the tape so yeah it eats tape too.. What can be the problem? Got a JVC HR-D830EH that looks 90% same as yours... It's driving me CRAZY :D

@KylesDigitalLab 2 жыл бұрын

@@12voltvids Alright I cleaned the switch with contact cleaner and put it back in, I'm pretty sure the timing mark is correct as I could only install the switch one way. Now the system is refusing to do anything and flushing the STOP, PLAY, and REWIND buttons. I hear a click when I power it on but nothing else. I'm pretty sure the mode switch and the mode control motor are plugged into the camcorder. I've got a service manual for the PAL model which includes a wiring diagram and schematic it's very helpful, but I can't figure out what the problem is. I'm only spending my time on this one because it's the BTTF camera and it has a working tube

I have a Blaupunkt RTV-540 and yesterday it worked fine, but as I was going to put in a tape, the tape kind of came in a bit uneven and it ended up getting the tape stuck. I managed to get it out after taking it apart, but now the vcr keeps telling me there is a tape inside even though I got it out. It shuts down after this and keep doing the same thing every time I start it. The motor starts and does the eject motion then shuts down and the display tells there is a tape inside. Could it be the mode switch that got suck somehow? I've been trying to find it, but it's an old VCR from 1989/1990 something, I'm not sure what I'm looking for.. Anyways I'll see if I can find something similar looking like that in your video.

@LUNARIAproject 7 жыл бұрын

Update: I managed to locate the mode switch, I removed the connector cable to the mode switch and turned the VCR on, it doesn't give the tape message now and starting with the tape inside even lets me press play indicating on the display it's playing for a moment, but then it shuts down automatically again.

@12voltvids 7 жыл бұрын

Sounds like a mechanical alignment issue. There are generally timing marks to line up all the gears in the mechanism. I am not familiar with Blaupunkt VCRs but they should be fairly similar inside.

Thanks a lot for the reply! I'll see if I can look more into it, or perhaps take it to someone who's more experienced with repairing VCRs than me. :)

@CondorAudio 6 жыл бұрын

Many Blaupunkt and Philips VCR's were made by JVC. At the front-left of the machine (inside), there's a little white plastic flap, which protrudes down from under the cassette mechanism, which pushes on a tiny proximity switch on the PCB. THAT is the sensor for the Tape IN or OUT. If that flap breaks (it does), then you've got a false Tape IN/OUT indication.

Hoping you see this as this is an old video but I'm wondering, is it a bad practice to use one of the fiberglass pens to clean the mode switch in addition to deoxit and isopropyl alcohol? Some of the machines I've been I've been fixing have been neglected for years!

I know this is a silly question but the drive belts and pully belts, where do you get yours for that specific part number/ model machine? I know ebay carries some but where would I get the belts? I have a Fry's electronic store that carrry's a lot of things but I'd need to know what reference to go to in order to get the right belt kit. How or where do you record the bar tape?

@NunYa953 5 жыл бұрын

I can't remember the name of the website but I found some by just googling "Toshiba VCR belts". Don't type in the specific model number, just the brand and then put your Sherlock Holmes hat on. It's frustrating to say the least. I've also gotten some from eBay, Amazon, and a site called westcoastbelts.com

I am wondering if by any chance that I could email you some pictures of the problem? I'm in desperate need of your help. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!! I am a female nurse student I just need a machine to work to convert my mom's memory tapes for her to watch. And JVC is a very good brand and an expensive one too.
