I am working on a JVC Camcorder Model# GR-AX25U. When you insert the tape it loads. If you press play it will sit there a second and an E03 error code comes up on the EVF. If you remove the battery and reinstall it the tape guides unload but the tape doesn't pull back into cassette. If you push FF & RW enough the capstan motor will finally turn and it will fast forward & rewind. Then if you press play it may play or not. If you press eject it usually ejects with the tape still hanging out. The capstan motor seems to be intermittent. The motor shaft is very free so bearings are OK. has anyone had any similar problems?
