Just tried holding the power button on remote. Power comes on for a few seconds, and then turns off again. This is with or without a tape as well. I have also seen an error code "F1". Tape does eject OK.

Kevin, see if this is the Ol' childlock thing. JVC Childlock VCR's Won't power up, Display says "Auto", won't eject. Press and hold power button on the remote until the power comes on.

JVC HR-S4500 SVHS VCR, tape loads, head spins, but just shuts down and displays 'AUTO'. Hi fellow techs, Fixed loading cage-left side was off. Now tape goes in, video drum spins, tape advances small amount but then VCR shuts down and displays 'AUTO'. This is my first experience with these newer JVC's.
