Panasonic PV-V4611 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR

Bought this unit for hi-fi stereo audio-only recording. Works great. Quiet mechanism, super fast rewind. Seller included batteries for the remote, and a blank Sony T120 ! Everything functions perfectly as new. Expectations EXCEEDED ! Thank you!

Although it is refurbished, they prepared it well and it worked well.I gave one less star because, for a refurbished one, I expected the price to be lower

Did not get remote for vcr need one please send me one i try calling you all

I was so excited to inbox this VCR. I’ve been wanting one for a long time since I grew up with it. I put in VHS tape and it didn’t sound right. I went to eject and the film was stuck in and torn. I thought maybe it was the VHS tape so I tried another and the same thing happened, this time the tape did not tear but it is mangled. Very disappointing and I am returning this

I am satisfied with the quality, but disappointed with the features, specifically VCR+.I had been using a Panasonic PV-4564 for a long long time and I liked it a lot. It finally got a tape stuck in it (as has every VCR I have ever owned at some point, oh well) and I figured with the prices so low on this 4611, I would just buy a new one instead of fixing the old.The most important feature to me is the VCR+ feature, particularly how my old VCR could change the channel on my cable box. When I did my research, I ruled out all VCRs without VCR+. When I got this PV-4611, I was extremely surprised to realize that Panasonic has apparently silently done away with the external control feature!(History reminder; the *original* VCR+ systems from the 80's were tiny little remotes that sat on top of your TV and sent out the right infared codes to control your VCR and your cable boxes. And they also worked off of those crazy numbers in the TV guide, of couse. Apparantly, now VCR+ only means ONE of those things.)I cannot find information on Panasonic's web site about my old VCR, nor can I find any info on whether they even have any current models with the feature I want.Just to be clear: the problem is that I have to set my cable box to the right channel in advance of my timed recordings. And I cannot record shows from two different channels without manually changing the channel at the right time. Of course, I could do away with my cable box, but then I could not record from scrambled channels like HBO. Grumble.The actual VCR I received is working fine and the quality seems good. I'm going to keep it (but only because the price is so low), but I'm sure irritated with Panasonic.p.s. Does anyone know what "VCR+ Silver" really means?

Works like new. Great value for the money

My old generic brand VCR recently bit the dust just after the 1-year warranty expired. I decided to invest a little more money into a name brand unit this time and I've always heard that Panasonic makes pretty good VCRs.I have not had any trouble with this unit after 3 weeks of heavy usage. The picture and sound are of good quality on recorded material.I was not able to set up the auto-clock feature, perhaps because my local PBS station is junk anyway. In any case, what's so hard about setting the clock yourself anyway?The only complaints I have is the fact that the front of the unit seems a little weak as the plastic feels somewhat cheap, especially the buttons, although I hardly use them as I use the remote more often.Another complaint is the remote. There are far too many small buttons and I often have a hard time to figure out which one to press at night, even if it is lighted, this can be remedied with a good third-party universal remote.Overall I am so far satisfied with my purchase, assuming it lasts more than the 13 months that my last generic VCR lasted.

Disliked hum in vcr
