Panasonic PV-V4524S 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, Silver
Panasonic PV-V4524S--The good, the bad, and the ugly
The Good: Good remote, good looks, good record & play back on the same deck.<br /><br />The Bad: This VCR definitely has tracking problems when playing tapes recorded in other units. I tested using tapes recorded on three different VCRs--all where difficult (if not impossible) to track either on Auto or manually.<br /><br />The Ugly: FF/REW way too fast for watching TV shows and trying to FF through commercials. You just can't press the buttons fast enough to stop the tape at the beginning of a show. The unit just DOES NOT STOP ON A DIME. I found myself anticipating and pressing the button way in advance--2 to 5 minutes for long FFs, which it does very fast.<br /><br />Good luck...
