Perhaps a good device in terms of equipment, but I only had problems with mine. It has been unusable since I bought it in March, although I have sent it to a Panasonic repair center 3 times. When playing, it initially overheated, which led to a deterioration in the quality of the tape, and therefore the recording. (Since I didn't try to reproduce anything initially, I only noticed this problem after the seller's return window closed.) Panasonic's service center twice said they would fix it, but
