Pros: Records good and easy to use. Cons: Quality is not as good as a DVD.
OK I am a true DVD fan 100%, they do not have an affordable recording DVD unit yet. So to record programming from your TV, you still have to rely on a VCR.
I picked up the Panasonic PV-9451 at a local store on sale for only $119. It is a hi-fi...

Pros: Just read my review Cons: Ask me in ten years or so
First of all, this isn't about the Panasonic PV-9451. Like technologyrep before me, I couldn't find a listing for my PV-V4520, so just kind of snuk in here. Oh, well, I know no one is going to kill me, and y'all really gotta know about this...

Pros: Very good picture and sound quality, very durable, nice full featured remote. Cons: Somewhat noisy mechanism.
This review is actually an update of an old review that I wrote shortly after starting on Epinions. I decided to update it because I felt that the old review was lacking in important info and It was obvious that it was one of my first reviews. I also...

Pros: Normal cheap price point, meets most VCR needs Cons: No autotracking
Apparently VCR's are starting to get to be disposable. We had to buy a new VCR because our other one (a ~$200+ nicer Sony unit of just 5 years) broke down. Because the one that broke was unreliable for most of it's life, we decided to try a different...

Pros: quiet operation, smooth operation, average sound and audio Cons: none significant
Shopping for a VCR is a lot different than it was 3-7 years ago. In the early 90s, people weren't looking for much in a VCR. Basically, it was fine if it played tapes and came with remote control. Stereo TVs and VCRs were just coming onto the scene...

Pros: Price, index system special bonus, LP RECORDING SPEED, auto clock set, dual AV jacks Cons: Quirky programing, no auto-head cleaning, remote requires effort to get used to, no cablebox control, newer vcrs available but probably not as cheaply
I purchased this vcr aproximately six and a half months ago, and it has taken quite a heavy beating in that amount of time.
So, I feel confident in making this statement about this particular model as well as some comments about different brands...

Pros: excellent picture quality & sound, unit is stylish & sleek Cons: volume and channel buttons on remote are too small
We have the PV-9451 set up as another home theater in another part of our home. It is hooked up to a Technics SA-G76 receiver and a host of Technics speakers. Picture is through a Sony 27" tv. The picture quality this vcr gives is nearly as good...

Pros: Clear sharp picture. Easy to configure Cons: Slow motion is too slow.
My family watches a lot of video tapes. You might be able to deduce that by seeing how many movies I've e-pinion'ed. We tend to go through VCR's about one a year, so I feel I have a pretty good idea what works and what doesn't, as far as hard use. The...

Pros: Best SLP speed picture I've seen. Cons: No reverse slo-mo.
This is a very good Panasonic VCR. Much better than my P
V-VS4821
of the same brand. It has pretty much all the features you will need for everyday recording, time-shifting and playback. It has the best picture of any ...

Pros: Panasonic reliability at an affordable price. Easy to use. Cons: Button cluttered remote
I first consulted Consumer Reports to get a review on the current features and quality in VCR's. The basic conclusion was a VCR is a VCR and shop by feature and reliability. Panasonic was noted as having the least amount of repairs. So I chose...

Pros: Picture quality,sound quality,looks great, works great Cons: Remote isn't perfect, slow ff/rew
Many persons will say that VCR are a thing of the past. Sure I do love my DVD player but there are no good and affordable DVD recorder yet so VCRs are still useful. The Panasonic reviewed here is just perfect for most people.
This VCR...

Pros: Features, Price, Quality Cons: none
This VCR combines all the features you'd ever want in a VCR. Along with the 4-head and HIFI features, it also has a back-lit, universal remote, front A/V inputs, and VCR PLUS+. The picture reproduction and audio reproduction are great, and the unit is...
