Questions & Answers

A HDTV antenna can I use to record over-the-air analog channels on this VCR?

but I put the TV on channel 3 using a channel converter box. An antenna connected to a digital box and a splitter allows me to record one show through the box and watch another on the HDTV.

A way to play old VHS exercise tapes on my laptop would be of great help to me. Is there anything I need to connect my hardware? How can I convert my video to digital?

A USB cable that connects an HDE 3 RCA. There are a few Amazon sellers selling

Why haven't I received the remote control for my video?

There is still a universal remote control available that can control these devices

The Panasonic products I love are fantastic
5/5

In order for the remote to work, it must Those are things I don't know how to do. It is the seller's responsibility to explain this to me. It seems that person didn't get back to me. A web site told me to go there once, and I lost all the information in my computer because of it. It is hard for me to remember everything at 80. I am very happy with the VCR itself, and I recommend it highly. The remote is out of reach for me. I have a friend who believes my idea is good, and he is going to purchase a VCR as well. There is no such seller on this website.

The corner of the piece was broken when it came to us
3/5

One of the corners was broken off when it was delivered to us. A second limitation is that it cannot eject you must manually remove it. The product we paid for was not what we got. It was disappointing.

The VCR is of good quality
4/5

The VCR has been in my ownership for nearly nine months and has never caused a problem, even after moving it multiple times during the process of moving into a new As well as being a very sturdy item, this is also very energy-efficient. There are three additional VCRs stacked on top of it, my TV, a PlayStation 2, and an alarm clock, and none of them shows any signs of giving way. In spite of the many features of this universal remote, however, I have found the interface to be somewhat challenging. There should be a way to completely hide all of the buttons beneath the number pad by a flip-up mechanism The panel should be able to extend or slide out so that it does not appear so intimidating. A light on the remote allows for better visibility of the buttons in the dark, allowing the user to use it without illumination. There are a limited number of AV inputs on the motherboard, which may be a problem for users with a "piecemeal" entertainment system. There are however, AV switches (as well as the necessary cabling) in most stores and Web sites that I have never had or owned a Panasonic VCR before buying this one. I would be willing to consider purchasing a second Panasonic if my secondary VCR breaks down.

I purchased a VCR that was in poor condition
3/5

There was a $109 charge on this item that I had to return. As the case was very scuffed up and dented, *not to mention the door where you insert the tape was flapping instead of remaining stationary and retracting when the tape was removed, you used to be able to buy a brand new one at Walmart for about $2. 00. For that price, I would not go to the Mart.

It was just a matter of converting tapes to DVDs
5/5

The VCR I have now is used primarily for playing tapes and has no features due to all the updates to broadcast TV. I have owned many VCRs over the years and I recommend this one for simple tape playback. Analogue was the only way to use auto settings.

I appreciate the excellent communications and reliability you provided! We had a very successful transaction here
5/5

Upon delivery, the item (a VCR) was in great condition (as advertised). As it is a very old technology, I didn't want to purchase one The seller I chose was the right one, so I was lucky. I've been delighted with my experience dealing with the seller and will recommend him to others. Please accept my sincere thanks, George.

They are inexpensive, a bit noisy, but they are worth the money
4/5

Each Panasonic VCR my family and I have owned has been better than the one before. Although the price is certainly too good to pass up on this one, I am not sure if the same holds for this one as well. If you have owned a Panasonic VCR before, then you are accustomed to a reliability and ease of use that you are used to. You get what you pay for with this unit. The package comes with 4 heads, a commercial skip, and array of features now included on most VCR's. One of the main negatives is that this one is much noisier than the original The rewind function is particularly useful during We're talking quite a bit at this point, and it makes me want to crank up the TV volume a little bit while it's A JVC VCR I purchased was actually considered to be an alternative, but I returned that one and kept the Panasonic since the JVC was simply too confusing to operate. This one is still in my possession, so why did I choose to keep it? This one is a keeper, as it's very inexpensive, it's got some nice features, and I can live with the noise. I cannot imagine that the noise will drive you mad unless you're really sensitive to it's presence.

I like it very much
4/5

I was able to hook up the VCR to the television and watch all my old family videos with ease with the RCA cables that came with it. I didn't have a remote, but it wasn't really necessary. The condition of this item is excellent.
