Panasonic PV-V4520 VHS VCR

Pros: Easy to use, excellent picture and sound, great build quality, high expected reliability, compact and lightweight, nice remote
Cons: No front inputs

If you read me reviews, you know that I love Panasonic VCRs. Although they might look better then they do, you cannot find better VCRs – mechanically, in terms of picture and sound quality and, last but not least, ease of use.

I had a chance...

Pros: Easy to use, excellent picture and sound, build quality, reliability, compact, nice remote
Cons: No front inputs

One person here wrote that 4520S model has "...dynAmorphous and Flying Erase Head, which are another two things that should be included in any quality VCR. These qualities of a VCR definitely enhance the viewing experience...". The same review...

Pros: Tape progress display, easy to program
Cons: One area of screen flickery not matter how I adjust, poor sound and picture quality

Our old Magnavox VCR purchased in 1987 was quite a trooper. It survived multiple televisions, from the ancient to the big screen. It survived kids learning to program it, and, perhaps more importantly, parents learning to program it. It survived tape...

Pros: Quality performance, lighted remote, 3-speed recording, affordable
Cons: Noisy rewind/FF

Panasonic has been a trusted name in our home for several years now. After we purchased our first Panasonic VCR about five years ago, we were immediately delighted with our purchase. One of our favorite toys, our Panasonic VCR served us well until it...

Pros: Inexpensive with great features and good video performance
Cons: None for a unit in this price range

The Panasonic PV4520 has a successor, the PV4521. This new unit has most of the same great features and general operation of the highly rated PV4520. The main difference of the latest unit is the addition of front panel inputs for a second VCR, DVD or...

Pros: Excellent picture quality; speedy FF/RW; nice features; well-made; inexpensive
Cons: Drive system a bit noisy

I always like to watch TV after turning in for the evening and I can't count the times I've wished I had a VCR in the bedroom to record those spur-of-the-moment programs, movies, etc that look interesting without having to get up, go into the living...

Pros: Price, Features, Performance
Cons: Lightweight Construction

I’ve always wanted a DVD Player, but, without recording capabilities, that means having to spend all kinds of extra $$$$ on the media: either buying or renting DVDs, or the tedious process of making my own. So, the VCR concept still holds tremendous...

Pros: Easy to use, 4 head Hi-Fi, packed w/ features.
Cons: My used unit has a few nagging problems.

OK, you can't really find this one new in the stores anymore, but if you are in the market for a good quality VCR, Panasonic still makes a model very similar to this one (although in silver, now... why is everything silver now?) for around $70. I was ...

Pros: Records on three speeds, counter display, clock display, great picture, great tracking, great freeze frame/slomo, nice price, 4-head, stereo, very adaptable for your needs
Cons: When in pause, the counter display does not come up

I live right near a Wal-Mart, and when my VCR died, I ran up one night, and bought one for around $80. I brought it home only to find it was a two-speed VCR, which means you can only record on SP (Standard Play), which gives you two hours of recording...

Pros: Excellent quality, price, reliability; robust construction; easily readable display and navigable menu system
Cons: Does not look as cool as the new Sony VCRs.

If you have read any of my other opinions, you would know about my fixation on finding the sweet spot on the price-performance curve for any product I buy. When it comes to VCRs, this one really hit it sweet. Not extra-sweet, like a spoonful of...

Pros: Easy to use, great picture and is light weight
Cons: I do not know how to get the number bar off

I recently bought this VCR and have loved it. It is easy to use and connect. The remote is perfect for your hand. The best part about this VCR is that it rewinds in such little time it amazes me. The picture is great. It allows you to enjoy all your...

Pros: Supreme Picture Quality, Excellent Sound, quality contrast
Cons: Price, construction, reliability, durability

Overview
First of all, I want to clarify that I do not recommend this product not only because the price does not fit the product, but because I do not believe that a VCR should break every few weeks and need constant repair to...

Pros: Easy to operate, large clock on front
Cons: Lacks many "bell and whistles" that some people might desire.

Having recently purchased a new television and a new DVD player, I decided to complete the cycle with a new VCR, replacing our ancient one that wasn't doing too well. I found a good price on a refurbished Panasonic PV-V4520 at auction on UBid. I placed...

Pros: Fast Rew/FF, great features, small & light, very inexpensive
Cons: Lighted remote aint so lighted

The Panasonic PV-V4520 Hi-Fi VCR was a replacement VCR for my other old one that died. The only reason I used a VCR was for the tuner and sometimes tapes and recording. I don't have any complaints or regrets on this VCR. My dad actually picked it up for...

Pros: Has a sharp clear picture and easy to operate
Cons: There is no cons

We bought a Panasonic 4 head VCR when my husband got sick and he used it to pass the time recuperating.

He taped movies off the television and it became a hobby for him.

The panasonic was silver with excellent tracking and easy...
