Panasonic AG-DV1000 Deck - stop ejecting my tapes already!
Hello Folks,
I have a Panasonic AG-DV1000 deck that worked fine up until a month or so ago. Now whenever I put a tape in (same tape that worked a month ago), it immediately ejects it. Maybe it doesn't like the taste? Tried getting Panasonic to help. No reply to several e-mails and calls. Any ideas? Thanks, Rick |
Does it eject all tapes or just that one? If it's just that one, it could be the tape is somehow stuck inside its cassette, like one reel is in a bind. Or if the deck does the same thing to all tapes, then it's obviously something in the deck's mechanism and it'll probably require service.

hah...that was a while ago
happens on all tapes. Sure, I could take it to a service shop. But for the price of fixing it, I could find a used one that is working (most likely). I have no problem taking things apart. Most of my gear has been disassembled/reassembled by me many times and (except for this) my gear continues to work. So, if anyone has any tips on parts suppliers or service manuals I'd be interested. |
I have had this deck for at least 5 years, and haven't had any problems yet, knock on wood. You can download the users manual here.
http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/AGDV1000.PDF After reading through it, I didn't see anything that might help other than on the last page it gives some error codes. It's a good deck and your problem might be minor. It's worth the time to take the cover off so you can see what's happening when you insert a tape. |
