You have probably tried this but if not.

 

Rewind the tape.

 

Powercycle the VTR and hold the eject button on power up.

 

Good luck

Help on this OT

 

Digitizing from a betasp tape inside my DVWA500

I go to eject the tape. The front panel buttons is frozen.  I can't use any of the buttons.

 

I DOUBLE CHECK THE KEY INHIBIT BUTTON, to make sure I did not accidentally hit it. Nothing wrong, the KEY INHIBIT IS OFF.

Remote is disabled.

 

I check everything, I was the only person around, Nobody touched my machine 2 minutes earlier.  The only way I can use the Dbeta machine is through a remote. from another machine or the DS.

 

Any clues? Has the microprocessor that controls the front panels bit the dust.

 

Thanks for any quick information.

 

Jeff
