Review on ๐Ÿ“ผ Panasonic PV-V4623S Silver 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR: Enhanced Video Quality and Sound by Dana Mahendra

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Demanding and refuses to play many tapes

I actually accidentally bought two versions of this - one was from Quasar and was very cheap but gave me problems so I went and bought a stamp - found it was an identical model (can't remember what the quasar looked like when I was in the shop)! Even the instruction manual was the same - only the brand name has changed. All the controls are fine and the recording quality is good, but many commercial cassettes won't play - they just throw them away, get stuck loading, and I have to take the lid off a couple of times. These are the same issues I have with the Quasar brand. A real shame as I thought Panasonic still made quality products. I buy another one and try to guess the price it would take to get something that works.

Pros
  • Index lookup and tape position display makes navigation and recording easier
Cons
  • So far so good
