Quasar VHQ-450 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Might as well re-badge this VCR as a &quot;Panasonic&quot;
As most of you know, Quasar is made by Panasonic. I've always been a fan of Panasonic stuff....its mechanically more reliable than any other brand. And Panasonic makes stuff thats technologically superior. Well, at first I was a little iffy about buying this VCR as &quot;Quasar&quot; is suppose to be a low end subsidary of Panasonic. But at its really low price, I decided to take my chance. Since I have been using it, all I can say is its simply an awesome machine at its price!! There is no annoying noise from the machine like what the past reviewers have said. And the remote works just fine, and being Universal is a plus. Well, you might as well re-badge this VCR as a &quot;Panasonic&quot;. Its design looks identical to other lower end Panasonic VCRs, and definitely performs like one too! Even down to the remote control, its the same exact one that comes with Panasonic VCRs (with the Quasar name on it instead of course). The identical remote control is not a big deal, but I just wanted to emphasize how similiar a Quasar is to a Panasonic. If you're in the market looking for a lower end HiFi Stereo PANASONIC vcr, don't bother buying it. Get this QUASAR instead. Its practically the same thing as a real Panasonic....its quality and its features. I love Panasonic stuff, but this &quot;Quasar&quot; rebadging looks more like a marketing scheme to me. Oh well, it saves me more money buying a &quot;Quasar&quot; than buying one of their VCRs with the &quot;Panasonic&quot; badge. Don't let the QUASAR badge on this VCR fool you. It works just like a real PANASONIC.
