Summary: Great Features
Review: Quality of Video: Good or better than I have ever seen Features: Easy to use and set-up ... commercial skip is great Negatives: Remote control is horrible, buttons are too small, suggest you buy multifunction remote for about $10 and use it instead.

Review: SAVE YOUR MONEY. YES, THIS UNIT HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES BUT, WOULD BE BETTER SERVED TO HAVE BETTER PERFORMANCE. A BIG BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I AM GOING BACK TO MY 2 YEAR OLD SHARP.

Review: This VCR is probably a good one if you actually get one that works. The first time I used this VCR the audio track had a loud vibrating noise on it. I asked Panasonic if they could just ship me a new unit, since this one seemed to be a lemon, and they told me I had to have it repaired. So I did, and after waiting two weeks I got it back and the problem seemed to be solved. I've used it exactly three times since then and on the second time it started making the humming noise again, unfortunatly the labor warranty had run out by this time and they wanted to charge me $75 to fix a problem they already were supposed to have fixed. I guess I should have used it more often and I would have discovered the flaw sooner, but since we bought a DVD player we just don't use the VCR that often. I think Pansonic should stand behind their product, nevertheless. It's a bad sign when the unit doesn't work right out of the box, they should've just given me a replacement since they sold me a faulty product. I'll never buy a Pansonic VCR again.

Review: This VCR replaced last years top-rated PV-9662. If you liked that vcr you'll like this vcr. The only difference is the remote is now more compact and doesn't stand up like the old one.

Review: This VCR sounds like a muffled electric razor when you turn it on. It forces you to jack up the TV volume so you can hear it over the hum/buzz of this VCR. I can't recommend this VCR to anyone because of this. Plus, the remote has about 30 small buttons which my family found very confusing. A big thumbs down!

Review: Update to my previous review: The VCR Plus works as it should. After going thru the quick set up procedure (rebooting the VCR), then going thru the VCR Plus setup again, it now functions. I have raised my rating accordingly. The comment on the remote and the timer recording still stand.

Review: When I purchased this PV-V4620 it was highly recommended by everyone I mentioned it to including my grandson who is a whiz at electronic stuff. Well, after getting it home I was totally confused after reading the instrucions. Panasonic could have done a better job with the instrctions for dummies like me. I know I have a great VCR but if I could only operate it. My grandson is not always available to come over to save me.
