Yes they did. I worked on those when they were still in warranty. Like Tony75 mentioned, it's a JVC-built machine and was serviceable.

What does it do exactly? Takes the tape and won't do anything else? If so, it might be in child-lock mode. I had a few JVCs come in like that, had inadvertently been locked. I recall that holding down the Power button on the remote for 4 or 5 seconds takes it out of Child Lock.
