Zenith VCS442 4-Head VCR
Junk Right Out Of The Box!
Mine too was defective right out of the box.  It wouldn't even power up!  I returned it to BestBuy, and although my second one worked, it would sometimes eject the tape right after I put it in, (just like the review below mentioned), and the other time, it suddenly stopped in the middle of watching a movie, ejected the tape, and shut down...  I again took it back to the store and demanded a refund.  What a piece of garbage.  I am gonna try a Panasonic and see how long that one lasts me.  Stay away from this thing.  There's obviously a design flaw with this particular model.  Absolute junk.
