its telling you to eject the tape. the heads may need cleaned. or a possable bad head
Before you ask, use a lintless swab with something like denatured alcohol to clean the head. Try to brush in the direction of travel of the head in relation to the tape and DON'T press hard. Just lightly brush. I found the swabs in a gun supply catalog but they should be in camera supply store as well.
