Review on Panasonic PV-V4522 πŸ“Ό Hi-Fi VCR with 4-Head Technology by Jerry Frey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As advertised.

I have just opened the box and replaced a unit I bought on Craigslist (Mitsubishi) which did not accept my bands without much hassle which I will spare you. Condition was advertised as GOOD and I wouldn't complain if it was advertised as VERY good. I plugged it in without plugging it into a computer and it accepted and ejected multiple VHS tapes with no problem, as well as two different VHS-C adapters. Then I plugged in the device that I use to connect to my computer to convert about 40 tapes from the late 80's to the 90's to digital, launched the program and happily looked at these old gems as they began to to transmit all the videos of my children's childhood in digital form. It's still early to write such an excellent review as I still have a long way to go before completing this project, but it works the way I remember the VCR working. Quiet, automatic video noise adjustment, good sound. Again - HOW ADVANTAGE - there are no instructions so no surprise but I gave up on my first attempt to set the clock with the remote. (I'm not a flashing light person) but all the removed features seem to work, so I'll find out later. If anything changes I will update this review but for now I am happy with the seller, the product and the price. I recommend this seller and take his word for it as the delivery was on time and the product was as advertised.
