I can not reach anything. To insert or reject the tape I press a small
lever which opens a door into which a tape can be inserted or taken
out. This door does not budge so I can not get inside. The two tape
decks, A and B are part of the unit which includes a three disk player
and a radio receiver. Deck B is the one stuck.
I opened up the unit but the tape drives are so burried under circuit
boards and other mechanisms that I would have to take everything apart
and still wouldn't know what prevents the door from opening.
When the door closes it pushes the cassette onto two pins which engage
in two holes on the casette so with the door stuck in the closed
position those pins hold on to the casette and will not let it out.
I wish that I could somewhere see a picture or diagram how all that
works. When I called JVC they were not helpful at all and told me to
take the unit to a repair center. I am sure that I could fix it myself
if I had good reference maybe a repair manual.

You may be lucky and just have a slipping main belt. If you hand rotate the
flywheel (the correct direction) you can sometimes cycle the mech and return
it to the stop position. The belt would still need changing though, and
thats not easy

If you're not familiar with electrical equipment, I don't suggest you try
though, its tricky etc...

This system has two decks A and B. When I press a lever the tape door
is supposed to open to take the tape out. I press the lever in deck B
and the door does not open.
How can get the tape out on this system?
