Panasonic PV-9451 VHS VCR

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: 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: It is very reliable and it works great. Definetly the way to go!
Cons: None that I know of.

The Panasonic PV-9451 Hi-Fi VCR is wonderful. I have had mine for about a year now, and I love it. The quality of what it does is great. Whenever I record a show, the picture and sound qualities are perfect. We all have seen VCR's that produce really...

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: 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: Excellent picture quality, great remote. Excellent recording.
Cons: Motor is a little loud. Not a great warranty.

Just in case anyone doesn't know the features of this VCR:
-Remarkable OSD
-VCR Plus
-Front AV jacks
-Rear AV in/out jacks
-RF in/oput
-Time/Memo stamp
-Illuminated remote. Very intuitive.
-Hi-Fi 4 head

...

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: 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: Good Performance
Cons: Instructions for Program Index Manual-hard to find in manual

This last VCR that I bought for the living room area has been a good VCR.I've had it now for about 8 years and it's just now tearing up on me.It was an Magnavox OSO HiFi VCR.Each of my kids have they're on VCR in there rooms.But I don't buy them real...

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: 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: 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...

Pros: Cost Picture Quality and Good Sound
Cons: None Yet

I purchased this Panisonic PV 9451 to replace my Zenith. The zenith was a piece of JUNK compared to the panasonic. The Zenith was 5 years old and I had 3 major problems with it. I decided to buy the Panasonic based on friends recommendations and...

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: 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...
