Default Re: Cleaning video heads etc

I wonder if anyone can offer me advice on my Toshiba RDXV59DT VCR player which has suddenly started to reject the tapes. Yesterday, after cleanng the opto sensor, I was able to get the machine to accept the tape, and advance the rollers to wrap it around the drum but then it would switch off. Switching it on again, it rejected the tape without rewinding it. Today, I am back to square one, the tape goes in and is immediatly rejected, and ejected again.

The player is 6 years old and this is the first problem it has thrown up. I am more famiar with radio sevicing than VCR recorders so any advice on where to start trouble shooting this problem would be much appreciated.

Thomas.
