Many thanks for all of th info, I no longer feel so in the dark on this EO4 issue. I gave it a couple of good 'slaps' on the side and its now seems to work fine, also it seems to work okay if the tape door is left slightly ajar. Sadly, it let me down badly on a v important recording in work, another JVC 'product' nearly ended up in the Thames river. Time to consider investing in a newer model and different manufacturer....
