Panasonic PV-V4524S 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, Silver
tracking problems after 90 day warranty expired
I bought this cheap vcr in november, 05. It played great untill february 06. I used the VCR about 2 hours/day to play tapes. Around february 06,  the playback sound became warped and a tracking band (about 1 to 2 inches high)appeared on the bottom of the screen. This happened for every single tape that I tried to play. The warranty on labor is 90 days for this VCR.   <br /> <br />Panasonic used to make excellent (expensive) VCR's. That time has passed. The only option to get a somewhat decent quality VCR is to buy a JVC with an extended warranty, as their reliabilty record has never been stellar.
