Panasonic PV-V4521 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR
Good Value for the Money
I decided to buy a Panasonic VCR because they are considered so reliable.  I decided on this particular model because of the low price and the Search Index feature.  This VCR is connected to my second television (which is not hooked to cable) to record the last 15-20 minutes of my \\"soap\\" everyday.  I wanted an inexpensive VCR because recording my show is about the only thing I do with this machine.  The tape I use to record on isn't a good quality tape but I get good results nonetheless with this VCR.  I was impressed with the ease in programming the timer record function; in fact, the whole operation of this VCR is quite simple.  I am definitely not a \\"techie\\" kind of person so if I can figure out how this machine works, anyone can.  I am still discovering the many features this VCR has and must say, it is a good buy!  The only down side I can find is, it is quite noisy when rewinding (not a big problem).  Something else that I have noticed is that a couple of my movies make whining sounds when playing in this VCR.  They never did in my old G.E. VCR, nor do they make these sounds in my Zenith VCR.  I'm not sure what the problem is there but it doesn't make noises with my other tapes.  All-in-all, I would say this is a good buy if you are looking for a fairly inexpensive VCR.
