THIS EROR REFERS TO THE TAPE DRIVE MECHANISM. IT CAN BE CAUSED BY CHEAPER BRAND TAPES THAT HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF LUBRICANT APPLIED WHICH CAN LEAD TO SLIPPING OF THE DRIVE CLUTCHES. CHECK USER MANUAL FOR RECOMENDED BRANDS. I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM BY USING A SPRAY TYPE VIDIO TAPE CLEANER SPARINGLY SPRAYING THE DRIVE WITH THE TUBE APLICATOR SUPPLIED. THIS IS VISABLE WHEN YOU EJECT THE TAPE. ALLOW THE CLEANER TO DRY OUT BEFORE USING THE UNIT AGAIN.
