How to Open a Tape cage manually
When I attempt to remove a tape from my Sony DCR TRV 280 the cage opens fine the cage slides up successfully but the cage doesn't open. After about 5 seconds the cage slides back down. Can I open the cage manually without breaking it. Does anyone know what's causing the problem and how to correct it.

If you have a RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS button, (and can find it - sometimes it is "hidden" or the manual has an explanation buried in "Troubleshooting") then try using that button.
Has worked on my Sony HDR-HC9 more than a couple of times. Also: Write down all the changes you made to factory settings BEFORE using the Reset button. Then you have the "joy" of re-programming all the menus, but the tape transport operates completely again.
Hope that helps.
