Panasuperb

Advantages: Digital compatability
Disadvantages: VCR's are being phased out.

...colour so matches my black panasonic tv i bought it to be used with. It is a NICAM vcr so when i play videos which have digital surround sound it sounds great as i have it all wired through my hifi surround sound system. It still records and plays back as well as the day it was bought. In the box you get the VCR itself, a manual, a coaxial cable, aremote contro with batteries and a manual. I have it attached to my home entertainment system via ...
...If you have a Panasonic tv the remote control from both the tv and vcr will work on both tv and vcr. Just flick the switch to vcr or tv on certain remote controls depending on the tv model. I thoroughly recommend this VCR which you may be able to buy cheap now as most people have gone down the route of recording onto DVD's or onto hard drives. ...

A great video recorder

Advantages: SP and LP
Disadvantages: You cannot easily create an Index point

...few seconds. This is very silly, but usable. Otherwise, great! It's a pity that video recording is coming to an end, but of course DVDs offer soooh many advantages that it's quite understandable. The Panasonic NV-HD636 has really been my workhorse and given me hours of pleasure. John-in-Brussels. ...

Nice one Panasonic!

Advantages: Great recorder with good clean looks
Disadvantages: Being rapidly overtaken by DVD recorders

...glad to report that the Panasonic NVHV61EBS has turned out to be a real winner. So what does this recorder offer? Well for a start it has a good quality silver finish, which is very popular at the moment. It has two Scart connectors so you can get your recordings to your TV with minimum loss. In addition it has the usual remote, black bodied in this case with a metal silver front. To my mind its a little old fashioned looking, but it works very ...
...many cheaper VCR's than the Panasonic NVHV61EBS and you'd be right. However in my opinion many of them are pretty awful, rubbishy pictures and ropey remotes. Not worth the hassle. Yes you'll pay more for this beauty but remember this. Long after you've forgotten how much it cost you'll still be admiring the beautiful recordings this machine produces. It will give you hours of pleasure. Take my advice, if you need a new VCR, this one is among the ...

Surprisingly good VHS recorder

Advantages: simple, cheap, durable, 6 heads
Disadvantages: none at this price

Who has video recorders these days? Well some of us still do for various reasons, one of which being to transfer video to DVD and i use this model. I bought it several years ago because it was cheap. and because i didn't want to spend a lot of money on technology that was rapidly going out of date. and i have been pleasantly surprised. i didn't expect a lot from it but it's recording and playback quality is surprisingly good. My previous model was ...
...This one has 6 (despite what the product information says. Definitely 6. It has 1 scart on the back and standard AV in/out on the front and i can use either of these to connect to either a DV camcorder or DVD recorder, thereby transferring old VHS recordings to Digital media DVD's for straight transfer and Camcorder for later transferring to my PC for editing. Note your camcorder would have to have AV in function and connections. I can't say much ...

Good for a VCR

Advantages: Good Quality for VHS, Many Features
Disadvantages: Outdated Technology, Complicated to use

...it allows the use of Sharp Super Picture to increase the quality of tape and records in Nicam Hi-Fi Stereo to give some of the best audio quality available on VCR's. Another feature that greatly improves the quality of this VCR is its use of Scart which is the best quality cable that can be used for non-HD footage. Although it does also incorporate component inputs on the front for both easy access and hardware that doesnt have scart (this can be ...
