Panasonic ( NVGS15EB ) digital camcorder reset problem

[chris]

I bought a digital camcorder NVGS15EB ( new from suppliers) about 3 weeks
ago . I have used it once and have tried to playback the recorded mini DV
tape but keep getting the meessage "Press Reset Button". This was all
working fine a few days ago.

I have pressed the RESET button several times but despite "resetting " the
camera the same message keeps appearing.
It appears to be a problem with the tape as I cannot eject the tape and does
nto appear to fast forward or rewind.

Any suggestions on how the tape can be ejetected or to cure the problem.

When set to "record" the picture appears as normal with the REC message
displayed but I suspect the tape is not moving.

Thanks for any advice.

It sounds like there may be a servo failure. Take the unit back for warranty
service. This is not something you will be able to fix yourself.

your problem or not and to see how whether you have had any othe
problems since or can offer any tips on using it.
