Panasonic PV-V4621 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Great: Unlike any model I have ever seen!
Simply put, this VCR is the only one I suggest purchasing.  Not only is it user friendly, there are so many options that make your viewing pleasure incredibly efficient.  If you tape daily programs, you will surely enjoy the easy programming and the fast advance through commercials that you don't even need to set-up.  Great purchase; great playing clarity, and highly user friendly.
