Panasonic PV-V4021 4-Head VCR (1999 Model)
Beware!!!
.... It had to be proven to me, and it certainly WAS! I had two of these Mod 4021 vcr's and do not want another! Picture covered with \\"noise\\" --tracking no help; head cleaning no help. Playback of its own recorded tape, was clear; one made on another machine (I have ALL Panasonic, too!) was full of this noise, and a line across the bottom of the screen. Sound quality very bad --muffled. I would not recommend this model 4021 machine at all. You MIGHT get a good one, but then again..... My only hope is that the problems are not going to show up in all Panasonic VCR's, because I have been happy with their products in the past....
