Panasonic PV-D4742 DVD-VCR Combo, Black
VCR Has Problems
I had the unit just over a year and only used the VCR ten times or so.  It started rejecting and eating tapes.  I called Panasonic, described the problem, and told them of the many people on-line who reported problems with the unit.  Since it is out of warranty, Panasonic was unsympathic.  They do not seem to care that they manufactured a faulty device, and are not going to do more than their warranty obligates them.<br />When I had problems with a Sharp Camcorder that was out of warranty, and Sharp knew that they were at fault, they sent me a new model free.  <br />Panasonic knows this is a faulty unit, and is hoping that customers won't use it enough to discover the problem within the warranty period.
