found online that there is a parental lock or something.. tells you to hold the power button on the remote for 7 seconds but that doesn't help.. I thing the flashing tape in the display means bad news for me

It may not be a bad problem with your VCR, could be something simple....
Try a different tape and see if it takes it.
Even if it won't work now, perhaps there is someone close to you that knows electronics.
I think all of my JVCs blink auto or something like that when first plugged up.
It could be a dirty sensor or something else simple.
Make sure there isn't any foil paper on the tape anywhere.

Correct.
If the clock is not set, after some amount of time, it defaults to --:-- for the clock.

Yes, do this. Excellent idea. Sometimes it really is as easy as a problem tape.

Another excellent idea. A can of "compressed air" (air duster) may help.

You lost me.

Totally unrelated, I would think. I bet this is in relation to tuner programming, not VCR function. I don't know of a way to "lock" the transport system of a VCR in this manner.

This often means a power surge. Did you have it plugged into a UPS, or just the wall? Or some cheap "surge protector" -- meaning a plain strip that honestly doesn't provide protection, regardless of claims on the package. After I lost my first expensive VCR from a surge several years ago, I've been strict about putting all electronics in the office (and home, too!) on a UPS brick with plenty of run time.

Yeah, I meant foil tape, I have seen that tape put on by rental stores....in case he happens to have
a rental tape.....but I refuse to play rental tapes in any of my vcrs.
Could be a power surge, reckon it has caps in the PSU similar to the DR-M10?

Since it is kicking the tape out, that makes me think it is getting power.

I don't believe so, no -- huge difference in ages.
