Panasonic 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR with VCR Plus
Amazon.com
The Panasonic PV-V4520 VCR is part of Panasonic's latest line of VCRs designed for the year 2000 and beyond. This four-head VCR combines hi-fi audio capabilities with a host of convenience features. It is equipped with a 181-channel TV/CATV tuner and an illuminated, universal, stand-up Light Tower remote control. Commercial Skip may be used during playback of a tape to rapidly advance 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or two minutes with each successive push of a button on the remote.
A notable feature made standard in Panasonic's latest line of VCRs is the VCR Plus+ feature, which lets users program the VCR by entering the PlusCode numerical codes that are found in many newspapers' television listings and TV Guide.
Other features include Auto Clock Set with 24-hour backup and a trilingual onscreen display (French, English, and Spanish). Auto Clock Set, featured on every Panasonic VCR, takes advantage of the Extended Data Service signal from the user's local PBS channel to automatically set and update the time and date. In the event of a power outage, the time and date will automatically be reset within 24 hours. This model also features index search and a tape position display.
The Panasonic PV-V4520 is Energy Star compliant, so it will draw significantly less power in the standby mode than noncompliant VCRs. Panasonic backs this model with a warranty of one year on parts, 90 days on labor.

This VCR arrived when it was supposed to. It works fantastic and I can finally watch home videos I haven't seen in years 😊 Thank you!

The good news is that it works fine but not before I gave it a good cleaning. It played all snow and audio noise out of the box until it displayed an error message. The RCA/Coax connections were rusted, and the inside needed a good air dusting and head cleaning. Again, it is now a working VCR but it needed help.

A reliable unit. I wish it came with an owner's manual but it works well to play a few vhs tapes I still have. The VCR arrived quickly and has no remote but it is easy to push the buttons.

When I received the VCR, I hooked it up like our old VCR without any luck. The picture was scrambled when I turned the VCR on and when I tried to play a tape. I immediately initiated a return with Amazon and printed my shipping label. However, before I returned the VCR to my UPS store, I tried sending the seller an email explaining my problem. The seller (Leo) called me back within a half hour and told me that the VCR was tested before it was shipped and that it worked fine. He was patient with me in explaining how to set it up. He was absolutely a great help and the outcome of the whole situation was that the VCR did indeed work playing a tape and also recording which is exactly what I wanted. So thank you Leo for all your help and your patience.

Product came within tome frame given. For a used product it was n very good condition with no significant signs of use or wear, very close to new looking. So far it works quite well as expected. It is used primarily for playing of VHS tapes but will be used occasionally for recording.

tHE remote has to be activated. I don't know how to do that. I requested the seller to tell me how. I did not hear from that person. I was told once to go to a web site and i lost the information in my computer. I am 80 years old and can't remember everything.The VCR its self is wonderful and I am very happy with it. Too bad I can't use the remote. A friend of mine thought my idea was good and is going to buy a VCR also; but, not from this seller.

While the tech people responded promptly to my concerns about the Panasonic PV-V4520 I have found the whole experience and product a major disappointment. Primarily the machine does not/cannot allow the reception and recording of most of the cable channels (some 40 channels) available on my basic cable system. None of the channels I wanted to view & record are available to me. As a first time purchaser via this "retail on-line source" I find it very frustrating that clear and bold warnings are not issued about such things as purchase includes only those items on view. Items not included were the remote a printed instruction booklet. I am likewise frustrated by the fact that warnings were not included about the negative effect that digital broadcast will likely have on reception. Prompt but either incomplete or faulty assistance by techs proved disappointing, frustrating and non-useful advise. I have kept the machine only because it at least can playback existing tapes and was inexpensive. I appreciate the prompt response to my concerns but deeply recent the lengthy time it took to receive this product and the false sense of arrival given the notice that the product was shipped. It did not come in the identified time frame.

The VCR was as described and arrived within the expected time frame. The lack of a remote (and operator's manual) are significant drawbacks. But the VCR works fine. The absence of a remote was communicated beforehand, so it was not a surprise. The product is pretty expensive (about $80 including shipping). But I needed a VCR and not a combo. Beggars can't be choosers. I would not of returning it. But it is pricey and has no remote. It was as advertised. There were no surprises. I am a little reluctant to give it five stars.
