The tape mechanism on the Z1U is very delicate. Does the door open by itself? It does take a few seconds. Make sure the battery is not dead.

The door open.

Is the battery OK? Try installing the spare battery or charge the old one.

Because the camera is directly linked on the elecrecity.

Yes. If the mechanism is broken I cannot help you any further and the unit must be repaired.

Any error message on the display?

Here are some old threads I was involved with about tape problems on the Z1:

One solution that worked for some was to hit the camera.

don't knock it (pun intended) - i've had this work not only on dv/hdv tapes, but also on beta/betasp tapes. if it does not work, then it's a tech job for sure...

No intention of knocking it. I have performed that maneuver on countless expensive electronic components. I just never thought of mentioning it and should have.
