Panasonic PV-C1321 13-Inch TV/VCR Combo
Panasonic has let me down
When buying electronics such as VCR's, TV's and cordless telephones I exclusively buy Panasonic. That is because I have had a Panasonic 19\\" TV for about 8 years that works great, a Panasonic VCR that has worked without a problem for 6 years and a phone that worked great that I gave up a while ago to get a 900mHz, both of which are solid pieces. I recently moved into a place that I thought could use a TV/VCR combo. Now, I have always been warned to stay away from these since if one component goes haywire, you lose the other. I have always abided by this rule until I decided I could trust Panasonic with it because I have been lucky and never had a TV or VCR break before I traded in for a more advanced model. <br />My fears were realized 35 days after I bought this TV/VCR. Up until the point where it refused to eject a tape or answer to any VCR commands from the remote or unit I was very impressed with the machine, which is why it received the 3 stars from me that it did. However I am very disappointed that it only took 35 days for a problem to develop when I have owned many of their products for years without incident. <br />I hope that this is a defective unit because I would hate to lose confidence in Panasonic as I have in Sony which only seems to concentrate on high end items, leaving its lower priced fleet an unreliable mess in mothballs.
