Panasonic PV-V4621 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Great VCR for the money
(...) This VCR is packed with great features (like VCR+ silver and commercial advance) and has great picture quality even when using my rabbit ears antenna (no cable!).  When researching VCR's, I found that the Panasonic name was at the top in terms of reliability.  Put that together with the features and it was a no-brainer for me.  Great VCR...no regrets.
