Unfortunately there is very little you can do if you have already tried another cassette, as the E-06 is a warning that the capstan spindle which drives the tape has not moved for more than 2 seconds even although it should have done, and in many cases its a very tightly wound cassette that has caused the problem by jamming the capstan. If you manage to get a tape to load do "not" try to play it but immediately rewind it end to end first as that hopefully will free the mechanism up. I am unaware as to what brand of tape you use, but TDK or Maxell brands are known to cause various drive problems in JVC camcorders, so only JVC - Panasonic or Fuji brands are the only ones recommended for use in JVC devices. PS: if you get an error code warnings leave the camcorder for over an hour before attempting to try it again, as "some" error codes have time factors built into them before they will clear, albeit that e-06 is not necessarily one of them.
