  • Record My Show for me!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 29, 2000
    Pros: Records good and easy to use.
    Cons: Quality is not as good as a DVD.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Excellent workhorse recorder/player

    Pros: Best SLP speed picture I've seen.
    Cons: No reverse slo-mo.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Pretty good, but I'm going back to Sony

    Pros: Normal cheap price point, meets most VCR needs
    Cons: No autotracking

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: Panasonic reliability at an affordable price. Easy to use.
    Cons: Button cluttered remote

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Oct 7, 2000
    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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Aug 20, 2000
    Pros: Just read my review
    Cons: Ask me in ten years or so

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Jan 29, 2000
    Pros: Cost Picture Quality and Good Sound
    Cons: None Yet

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Clear and easy to use

    Jan 5, 2000
    Pros: Clear sharp picture. Easy to configure
    Cons: Slow motion is too slow.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: excellent picture quality & sound, unit is stylish & sleek

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 9, 1999
    Pros: quiet operation, smooth operation, average sound and audio
    Cons: none significant

    Summary: 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 ... read more
