Panasonic PV-V4611 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR
Worst appliance I have ever purchased
I bought this VCR to go with a new Panasonic TV; after trying for a week to hook it up, I asked a friend to try. He failed, too, then I spoke with the service dept. of Panasonic, who said to send it back to them. &quot;Works fine here,&quot; the service rep said. He sent it back and we tried again. Then I hired an electronic wizard to set it up. He spent 2 hours tryimg to set it up and then another two hours on the telephone with our new friend Dan at Panasonic, and Dan finally turned him over to someone else there, and it now works for &quot;Play,&quot; but Record? Never! It will not record even when we sit there and push the buttons manually, Both the TV and the VCR are simple, basic machines, no bells and whistles. The VCRPlus feature will not function. I plan to return it to Panasonic, not the store where I bought it, as a lesson in how not to make a VCR, and I will buy another brand. I would have thought that to have both machines the same brand made the same year would make it easier, not impossible, to make them work together, Not so. I have always liked Panasonic and trusted them Not any more, and never again.
