Panasonic PV-V4620 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
A fine piece of machinery!
I purchased this VCR because the original one that I wanted (which was a Sony) was out of stock. This VCR is one of the best out there. It's pretty much plug and play. And if you have another component that uses RCA cables for its hookup, you have a choice between the front stereo inputs (perfectly located) or the rear ones. Panasonic is a company that my parents bought from when I was young and I am totally impressed with most, if not all, of their products. My only complaint is that the owner's manual is a bit much, but from another Panasonic VCR that I bought for my parents (1 year ago), that is how Panasonic does things. The blood red auto head cleaning message makes up for that, though! Forget Sony, go with Panasonic (I intend to get that DVD-CV50 DVD player that Panasonic makes as well!).
