Panasonic V4520: Our 1987 VCR Was Better (Helping Hands w/o)

byjenninca Jul 13, 2001
69 Helpfuls 70 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Tape progress display, easy to program
Cons One area of screen flickery not matter how I adjust, poor sound and picture quality
Recommended it? No

Our old Magnavox VCR purchased in 1987 was quite a trooper. It survived multiple televisions, from the ancient to the big screen. It survived kids learning to program it, and, perhaps more importantly, parents learning to program it. It survived tape after tape after tape. But about eight months... Read full review »

Pros Quality performance, lighted remote, 3-speed recording, affordable
Cons Noisy rewind/FF
Recommended it? Yes

Panasonic has been a trusted name in our home for several years now. After we purchased our first Panasonic VCR about five years ago, we were immediately delighted with our purchase. One of our favorite toys, our Panasonic VCR served us well until it met with a quite unfortunate accident late one... Read full review »

Excellent product, but worth the price ?

Pros Supreme Picture Quality, Excellent Sound, quality contrast
Cons Price, construction, reliability, durability
Recommended it? No

Overview
First of all, I want to clarify that I do not recommend this product not only because the price does not fit the product, but because I do not believe that a VCR should break every few weeks and need constant repair to keep working. It is my opinion that a VCR should be a reliable... Read full review »

This Review is on the newest version of PV4520

bytennis_player Mar 21, 2001
27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Inexpensive with great features and good video performance
Cons None for a unit in this price range
Recommended it? Yes

The Panasonic PV4520 has a successor, the PV4521. This new unit has most of the same great features and general operation of the highly rated PV4520. The main difference of the latest unit is the addition of front panel inputs for a second VCR, DVD or camcorder. The remote control is no longer... Read full review »

Low Priced And Loaded!

22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Price, Features, Performance
Cons Lightweight Construction
Recommended it? Yes

I?ve always wanted a DVD Player, but, without recording capabilities, that means having to spend all kinds of extra $$$$ on the media: either buying or renting DVDs, or the tedious process of making my own. So, the VCR concept still holds tremendous appeal for me. And, thanks to the relentless... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, excellent picture and sound, build quality, reliability, compact, nice remote
Cons No front inputs
Recommended it? Yes

One person here wrote that 4520S model has "...dynAmorphous and Flying Erase Head, which are another two things that should be included in any quality VCR. These qualities of a VCR definitely enhance the viewing experience...". The same review says that this model is overpriced at $130 and cannot... Read full review »

Can't go wrong with this investment.

Pros Excellent quality, price, reliability; robust construction; easily readable display and...
Cons Does not look as cool as the new Sony VCRs.
Recommended it? Yes

If you have read any of my other opinions, you would know about my fixation on finding the sweet spot on the price-performance curve for any product I buy. When it comes to VCRs, this one really hit it sweet. Not extra-sweet, like a spoonful of saccharine - just sweet enough to make life a little... Read full review »

The Last Of The Three Speeds

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Records on three speeds, counter display, clock display, great picture, great tracking,...
Cons When in pause, the counter display does not come up
Recommended it? Yes

I live right near a Wal-Mart, and when my VCR died, I ran up one night, and bought one for around $80. I brought it home only to find it was a two-speed VCR, which means you can only record on SP (Standard Play), which gives you two hours of recording time on a standard VHS tape, or SLP (Super Long...

Pros Easy to use, excellent picture and sound, great build quality, high expected reliability,...
Cons No front inputs
Recommended it? Yes

If you read me reviews, you know that I love Panasonic VCRs. Although they might look better then they do, you cannot find better VCRs ? mechanically, in terms of picture and sound quality and, last but not least, ease of use.

I had a chance to play with PV-V4520 and it did not disappoint... Read full review »

Pros Excellent picture quality; speedy FF/RW; nice features; well-made; inexpensive
Cons Drive system a bit noisy
Recommended it? Yes

I always like to watch TV after turning in for the evening and I can't count the times I've wished I had a VCR in the bedroom to record those spur-of-the-moment programs, movies, etc that look interesting without having to get up, go into the living room, turn on the TV, get the right station, and...
