Sony Handicam won't play cassettes, and won't fully eject?

I need to transfer a few dozen Super8 cassettes to digital media. So I got out our old Sony Handicam, but it (1) won't play a tape when I put it in (just beeps and flashes an Eject icon) and (2) won't eject unless I turn it off/ power down, etc. I don't need the camera anymore, just to do the transfer which would surely be prohibitively expensive commercially. Any tips?
