SONY SLV-740HF LOADS TAPE THEN EJECTS IT BACK OUT REPAIR FIX

- A SONY SLV-740HF VHS VCR brought in for not being able to keep a tape in. It just accepts the tape and then a few seconds later it ejects it back out. found the most likely cause as being a friction clutch being gummed up. Cleaned and re lubed the clutch and now its good as new.

Great video!! I was able to bring my VCR back to life! Now I can finally watch my James Bond collection (RIP Sean Connery). Thanks so much for taking the time to put this up!
Great video!
I actually had the complete opposite problem, where it would not eject at all. This was after I took it apart to clean out the one I just purchased. It would try and eject, but wasn't prevented from going out because the door would not open.
You video helped out greatly for me to figure out the issue. I wasn't aware I had to leave the door open while re-attaching the front. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much man, bless ya life, I was able to get mine SLV-T2000 to work, and now I have to figure out why it has so much trouble with rewind and why the IR light thing doesn't work. I am still happy for what I've done today.
Thank you. I have a SLV-780HF here with the same transport mechanism. Tape would load but not play. When going into play, there would be a loud "clicking" noise. It turned out to be the slip clutch. The plastic bearing in the center of the clutch (the wheel that you removed that was held by the small plastic clip) had frozen up. A few drops of oil got it freed up and playing again. The problem was probably caused by lack of use rather than worn from too much use.
Older VCR units such as from the 80s and 90s will always have technical problems. I found out later models from 2000-2005 still have good image and are less prone to failure especially since many of these have not been used extensively, since this was the time when people started buying DVD units. In my opinion, go with a JVC or Panasonic made after 2000 that has seen little use, and keep these unplugged while not in use to help the capacitors last longer.
This will help me to service two Sansui players that do the same thing. Good video, thanks for sharing it!
Props for still working on these relics, I don't even know anyone that still owns a VCR
Useful stuff.
I'm surprised that you were willing to put one of your own unique tapes against the head of a stranger's VCR without, apparently, first making sure the head was clean.
Hi, nice video. The capstan brake was stuck, you can clearly see the little white plastic piece moving and bending a little. Then it freed up and you were able to rotate the motor. This is at the 3:39 time mark.
Good catch!
Thankyou..

Wow, just wow. Very nice. Wish you were on the East Coast.
I just bought a vcr for my kid. $4 at a garage sale, it has this issue where it takes the tape, makes noise then spits it back out. I’m going to give it a whirl.
I think is the issue with my vcr combo crt tv! It's built a little different and the vcr player is at on top of the screen haha I will try this sometime thank you
I have so many old VCRs with this issue, even with these videos I still don't have the patience to take them apart and do these fixes. I could easily have 10 working VCRs if I would just do it.
Great Job. You know your stuff. You should engineer these things to make them last! I have a Sony SLV700HF that make a squealing sound when the tape is installed in the deck and then it ejects the tape. Any insight into what I can do to repair this unit? Thanks. Rock On
Check the belts, most likely one is slipping and that is the squealing sound.
Hello to all of you. I watched this video, was very useful to learn something new. I have SLV-SE810 VCR and have a problem with it. I can't insert the tape at all, no matter what I've tried. If you know something about it, please tell me how to fix it. Will be grateful.
I have the same problem.
I am going to try and repair it now...
Great video!
Well this video has been somewhat useful in disassembly for me it's same model... However my problem is I don't have any power, fuse is fine... Any suggestions???
Great video!
I have the same problem but in my case the tape is going to the head. It ejects the tape after 2 or 3 seconds. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks for putting this online. this solved my problem.
Doesn't acetone dissolve some type of plastics? Is it safe to use everywhere? I always use alcohol to be on the safe side.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. I have a question, what is your go to source for belts for vcr's and tape decks, etc.?
Thanks my grandson purchased VCR players none work. So Nana called to assist with 5 VCR players . I'm experienced in micro electronics and rework not VCR not DVD players..I've reviewed this I do believe 1st is to clean the parts with pullies blow out dust ..I not used desolder tool before . where to purchase?
It is a Hakko FR-301 from Amazon is where I bought mine
Amazing video. Very educational. Thank you
thanks for the video! very concise and never boring!
My vcr is stuck on auto. I had an old tape get stuck inside- I took apart enough to get tape out… then it still won’t reset itself… thoughts?
If you ever repair a JVC HR-S7800U (or something very similar), would love to see that! I need to learn how to keep my old beast up to snuff!
I just repaired a Marantz D-VHS vcr, (made by JVC) video should be up in a few days. Maybe it is similar?
@@norcal715 Great, look forward to seeing it!
Great video, thank you! Would love some advice on a Sony SLV-ED8. The cassette is immediately ejected. Upon dismantling it, there was a little spring with a broken piece of plastic still attached to it. Any ideas?
Hi, I hope you can point me to the right direction. I have a Sony SLV-X822 that loads the tape up fine but is struggling to keep up regular smooth, consistent play speed. I popped the top off and notice that it the motor is fighting an uphill battle to maintain play speed.
I have used several tapes with the same result. Fast forward and rewind show no issues!
Check the tape back tension, if it is too much then it will struggle to keep up. Otherwise something may be dragging.
hey friend, how can I solve problems with my vcr ... cassette go all the way to the floor and run out of the pack, somehow head into the gates
Thank you. Great video work
You're so nice! Thanks so much,
I wish you’d clean the old lube off my shaft in order to free up the tension disc... 😏
I had to order that blue gear and when I went to put the white gear back
in, I got it in place but then the center pin that it fits on - pushed
down where I couldn't get the snap on. So I took it off and tried again
and it now keeps pushing in. When I did get the gear on and the snap
on the pin - I started to put the large white gear on and as I rotated
the gears it pulled that pin up making the gear vulnerable to being
stripped. Do I need to glue that pin now? It has a perfect slip hole
but nothing to hold it in place
Hi. I have the same mechanism and this machine does not play any cassette since 7 years ago. I put a cassette in, but the cassette do not play an is stocked.
I trying to find someone in Costa Rica that can help me but no luck. Did you have any sugestion to repair it?
I only like the older Sony vcrs!
Fantastic video, well done mate. Thank you
Beautiful!
Awesome vids, as always. What's the make of the wristwatch your rockin'? Diggin' the big readout!
I chose it for the large readout also. It is a Garmin Vivoactive3 Music with a custom watch face "AlSimpleDigital" Great watch!
@@norcal715 l just brought a
Sony VCR slv 1000
It was working great for 3 weeks
But one night it would Not ejected
The tape so I opened it up
And I held the plastic door way with a small screw drive
I freed the tape
But now it won't load the tape
Do you fix VCR and how much
?
And how to contact you
Thank you
I should consider sending off my Sony DVD/VCR combo to you instead of throwing it out. The DVD player recently died and now the VCR is exhibiting the same problems as this one. Thankfully, it didn't destroy the tape I had playing on loop, but I did have to open it up to extract the DVD that was stuck inside - I did consider trying to replace the DVD logic board, but I couldn't find anything that matched the part number :( And without DVD functionality, I couldn't set time or even access settings exclusively for the VCR

I have a Sony combo and the loading motor don't load vhs tape , any idea what could be going on ? motor works separately i checked it .
Well done!
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Hello sar ji mere pass Sony vcr hai use repair karna hai
I have a old Montgomery Ward JSJ 10625 VCR and it keeps ejecting the tape, can it be fixed.
I have a question for you. I have a sony model slv-780HF. Its acting as if a tape is already in it. When I hit the eject button it goes through the numbers and pushes out, but after a few seconds it pulls back in like a tape is in there, then goes back to playback mode. So it's like I have a ghost vhs tape. Can you help?
Hi I have a Toshiba VCR and the tape does not go down, what could be the issue.
Very good Video.
Im getting an rca style vhs player you the 3 color cords red yellow/green and white
(I say green cuz some rca style tvs have a green port not yellow but the green port functions like a yellow one) and if i have that problem again cuz i had an old one that had the same problem and now i know how to fix it
I've got this World VHS tape player it plays but ejects out the tape
Hi Nor where are you getting your dielectric yellow grease and machine oil from alls I see online is the silcone clear dieelectric grease
If it is yellow then something is wrong, The grease I use is the clear type. The machine oil is Zoom Spout oil. The dielectric grease is available at almost any auto parts store. The oil is available at most appliance repair shops.
I need help with mine, it runs on auto nonstop
If I send a VHS your way are you able to fix it?
I wont know until I get into it. Email me at norcal715videos@gmail.com
I still have my magnavox vcr/dvd player and I’m 14 my grandma bought it lol
That ford Torino is worth about 20k today lol
Greetings. Any tips for problems like this:
The VCR plays, forward, rewind perfect. All is good.... except when i press eject.
There is a great chance it won't spin the magnetic tape back correct/enough so there is still tape outside the cassette when it drops down the "flap" and ejects the tape = wrinkled tape, or it will get stuck in there.
I have this on a copuple of players. They just seem fine until you try to eject the cassette. I opened one up and can clearly see it is not "spooling" the tape enough/correctly, but i can not see where the issue would be.
Plz help!
probably the clutch in the center that switches from low torque in the play mode to high torque in the FF-REW/eject position. Also could be a brake not releasing the reel tables at the correct time too.
Hi, I have the same model and was having the same problem. After I took it apart, got it to take the tape, but now it just won't play it. It does fast forward and rewind (only for a second or two before stoping). It does make a sound like something is stuck though. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I would need to look at it to figure it out. Sorry.
The vcr's belt did spit the tape back out
I would have thought some type of silicone lubricant would have been used against nylon parts instead of petroleum oil.
where are you located? can I ship mine for you to repair?
YES YOU CAN! email at norcal715videos@gmail.com
Hi i have Panasonic sd 220 when i turned it on it takes the tape to the head then immediately it ejects the tape. Kindly help me out to sort out the problrm
Possible mode select switch, cylinder speed sensor, capstan frequency generator, reel rotation detection, or power supply problem. Most likely.
Yo.tengo un problema con mi vhs sony que no expulsa el caset quedo trabado yno sale alguien sabra como hacer que salga
Dude, I gotta try this.
I have a VCR of a different model but with the same mechanism that behaves almost the same.
Will report back if it works.
Didn't work, it still gets stuck in the cassette down position.
Do you happen to have a video setting up the timing on this mechanism, including the loading mechanism?
I have the service manual for this mechanism, and I think I have most of the holes aligned in the right way, because when I apply voltage to the loading motor, everything works perfectly fine.
But everything breaks when I put the loading mechanism back on, and the service manual doesn't say much about the loading mechanism.
Ignore that, I think the problem is the gear that connects to the metal slider of the front loading mechanism, some of the teeth are damaged.
Anyone knows the part number or a way to try and fix it?
email me and send some pixs of the gear and the location in the mechanism. Norcal715videos@gmail.com
Do you know anything about violent vhs eject. The tape is completely coming out of unit
Something must be sticking until it overcomes the force then the spring tension releases and the tape and it shoots out.
It's weird I tried watching it a bunch of time but could not see anything
Does anyone know if a VCR tape can be repaired once it has film hanging out?
It can be spliced or if not to damaged it can be rolled back in
Hi I have a JVC HR-S860 SVHS VCR when I insert a tape it powers off, could it be a mode switch issue, also the VCR has a blow fuse and that makes a noise, not sure what the issue maybe. Please reply.

@@norcal715 Hi I have emailed you my request how do I take the mechanism out as I have taken the screws out but still cannot get the mechanism to pull out.
@@norcal715 Hi please check this video having issues removing the plastic tabs, how do I resume, please reply. czcams.com/video/0FSXlmBqnQk/video.html
Just stick your hand in the machine and hold the tape down it will play not Eject on you .
I put in a tape. But all that happen is the drun spins.

Possibly a little old lady who only watched TV once a week.
Great video. My special needs child still loves watching vhs. How much did you charge to fix the problem. My child’s vcr just started doing that today.
