Panasonic PV-V4622 VHS VCR

Pros: Price, performance and features, inputs, remote control, fast rewind, reliability
Cons: No jog functionality, could look better

I recall that I bought my Panasonic 4-head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR 4 years ago for $200. The vastly superior Panasonic PV-V4622 now sells for less than $120.

I have always liked Panasonic VCRs better than VCRs of other brands. I have used...

Pros: VCR+ Silver. Genuine Commercial Skip & Movie Advance. LP recording. Backup Memory. Auto Setup.

Pros: Date/Time stamp. Good picture quality
Cons: Somewhat noisy when rewinding

Pros: inexpensive, great features
Cons: remote is poorly designed

We love this VCR! The price is fabulous but it's not just that...
This VCR is fast when it skips commercials etc.
The commercial skip is our favorite. You dub your shows & then it marks the commercials & skips them on playback. No sitting...

Pros: pretty; nice features
Cons: terrible tracking

This VCR can't play back tapes made on other VCRs because its tracking is terrible. It can't even play back tapes IT has recorded without terrible tracking issues: white lines across the screen, distorted sound. I bought it for the features, and I had to buy another SONY VCR to playback my old SONY tapes. DON'T BUY THIS VCR.
