Ahh... it's the Eject button, not the Stop button...

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
