Panasonic PV-V4523S 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (2003 Model)
Not quite good enough
When you replace an ancient VCR, you expect that the new one will not respond to the index marks laid down by the earlier one. That is why the ability to search by time reference is important. This model lacks that feature. To make things worse, the time reference disappears from the screen when one does fast forward or reverse. What can the designers have been thinking?<br />Also, there is a fuzzy band on the left side of the screen during all playback. I regret not being alert enough to spot the shortcomings in time, and return this thing for credit. Most of the competitors would have served me better.
