How can I fix my Samsung camcorder?

when i try to playback a tape in my Samsung SCL810 camcorder, i get an error message that says, "R.EMG". Any ideas if this is something I can fix myself or do I need a service tech?

The errors you are getting are "reel" errors. One or both of the tape reels are not turning during tape movement and the camera is shutting down to protect itself and your tape. In this model this problem is usually caused by the take up reel shaft being bent due to improper insertion of the cassette although this may not be the case. Please inspect both the takeup and supply tape reels and insure they are in correct alignment, if not, a gentle push to one side or the other will place them back in operating position. Good luck to you.
