Panasonic PV-D4752 DVD-VCR Combo
Very, VERY pleased
I recently received my Panasonic DVD/VCR player and I am very pleased with its performance. I could have bought another brand DVD/VCR combo for less, but I already have 2 Panasonic VCRs and have been extremely please with their performance, so I wanted to stay with the Panasonic brand name. I was not disappointed.<br /><br />The DVD/VCR player has all the same features as my old VCR and operates similarly, so there was no learning curve. It is loaded with features for the DVD player as well. One advantage to the DVD/VCR combo is that I can tape my favorite programs from the TV while I (or my 2-year-old) watch a DVD. Also, the VCR can now tape program whether it is in the ON or OFF position, so no more missing programs because you forgot to turn the VCR off to tape.<br /><br />Installation was easy... I simply unplugged my old VCR and plugged up the new DVD/VCR combo exactly as the old VCR was set up and it worked perfectly. I am not even running a special cable between the DVD portion of the machine and the TV, and the DVD picture is absolutely flawless! Which is a good thing because I wouldn't even know how to do anything but the most basic hook up.<br /><br />My only complaint is that that remote should be lighted, so you can see what you are doing in the dark.<br /><br />UPDATE: 5 years later, and this machine still works like a charm! Kudos to Panasonic for making an exceptional item!
