THE JVC GR-AXM225U FIX FOR ME WAS TO OBSERVE THE TAPE WHEN IT IS INSERTED BY REMOVING THE CASSETTE HOLDER COVER. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TAPE CANNOT BE READ BECAUSE THERE WAS A "LIP" ON THE TAPE ITSELF THAT RESTRICTS THE CAMERA FOR READING IT. I BROKE THE "LIP" OFF OF THE TAPE (NOT ANYTHING ON THE CAMCORDER) AND VIOLA, IT WORKS. THIS IS WHY JVC WANTS YOU TO ONLY BUY THEIR TAPES, POBABLY BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE TAPES ITSELF. SO, TO MAKE THIS COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE, Y O U A R E U S I N G T H E W R O N G T A P E. enjoy!!
