Panasonic PV-V4522 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Great player, poor recorder -  mucho problemos
Has all the same qualites and additional problems of the Mono model 4022:  While the universal remote works great, the keypad buttons aren't &quot;intuitively&quot; planned out. And while the vcr seems to have all the Panasonic features one wants, including all 3 recording speeds, the picture has noticeable flicker in SLP speed. Sound is great in Hi-Fi mode, but when recording in SLP music will sound warbly in mono mode (or on a separate mono vcr). Along with warbly music, if you record over something and play the tape in mono mode (or on mono vcr) you will hear the audio you recorded over! Panasonic customer support either apologize or deny problems exist. <BR>When using the vcr to view tapes made with the vcr, a color bar runs up the TV screen's left side unless the vcr is moved away from other vcr's; however it won't do this with other tapes. VCR is also pretty loud, louder than the 4022, and occasionally makes a swishing sound. I returned vcr and had same problems with exchanged model.
