Thank you for your advise.

Answer
David, hello. This answer may belong in the believe it or not book. Sony's cams have a way of responding positively to a good swift smack to the side. Lots of postings about this on the web. This is a last resort!

First how old is the tape? Has it been used many times? Dry or humid climate? A good cleaning may help as well. Let me know.
