Hi,

My Panasonic NV-FJ620 has the same fault at the moment, but sometimes when
the tape inserts, it'll try a couple of times to eject after unthreading the
tape, but after this, the tape will thread again but this time the unit goes
into picture search mode in fast forward - when it does this, the unit acts
like it's locked up. It will not respond to any button pressed whatsoever.

I've been hearing about a mode switch possibly needing a clean - where is
this switch located on these units?
