Review on πŸ“Ό PV-V4640 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR by Panasonic by Adam Browning

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great picture but outdated remote control and VCR functions

This product offers excellent picture quality even when using older home recorded programmes. However, there are many features that are no longer up to date - mostly removed. For example, there is no mute button, there is no option to "skip" to the previous channel, the channel buttons are very small, the toggle control is a waste of space (I'd rather press the button at any time). As for the recorder itself, the ability to program only 8 recordings ONE DAY to record is at least 10 years out of date. Without being able to use the same program for a week (you have to reprogram every day or use five records in one program) and finally the quality of SLP is so bad that "usability" is not profitable even with the right type of tape. Honestly I would return it but packing it up and finding a UPS delivery point is too much of a hassle. I will remove it and use it as a backup, but in the future I will buy my electronics from the store. where I can "see" the features.

Pros
  • 4 head system with built in head cleaner
Cons
  • boring packaging
