This is a 4-head Quasar VHQ520-K, VCR. Unfortunately, there is no remote. It produces a clean, high quality, stable playback. It has automatic tracking and includes manual tracking for those tapes that the VCR can’t quite seem to track on its own. No tapes eaten. You can even record with it, if you want. It uses standard RCA input/output jacks but it only has one audio output which means no stereo. This machine is great for digitizing those old movies/tv shows that are nowhere to be found anymore or those vacation movies you made with your camcorder.
