Zenith VR 4100?

[Honkycat]

Does anyone have the manual to the Zenith VR 4100 Stereo VCR recorder in pdf? I picked the unit up at a garage sale and am considering recording some vinyl on VCR tapes to see how I like it. I heard the quality was pretty darm good.

Thanks
George

unless it's a HIFI capable machine you won't get good sound out of it -

I believe this machine was built with hi fi sound in mind.

Is that the one I have; does it look like this?

 

[Honkycat]

No, mine looks different.

sowwy :-(
I've got the manual for this one, since I bought it new!

Can you recommend a good tape for recording..

 

[mhardy6647]

I used to like the Maxell "silver" or "gold" tapes for VHS HiFi stereo audio (GX and EX I think were the specific Maxell tape types?). I don't think they're made any more... probably not hard to find gently used or NOS, though.

I have one sealed EX that I know of. cool. thanks

I always preferred Fuji VHS or S-VHS tapes. I bought, tested and used many brands and types.

Link to some on Amazon, no affiliation with any seller

I just made the remark because Zenith never reached this part of the world, and apparently seems to fly under the google radar
