Answer 1

I guess you don't know what the "tape erase protection tab" actually is...

Look at the bottom of the cassette tape that you put inside your cam. Now look for a very small bit of movable plastic, it will be able to click up and down. This is your tape erase protection tab, you just need to click it down to work again.

Answer 2

have you checked the erase tab on the tape? If it is broken off then put a piece of tape over it. or take it back and upgrade to digital.
