Overview

Panasonic built this four head VHS deck for easy everyday use, with front inputs for a camcorder or game console and a lit universal remote. Index search and program end search help find recordings on a tape.

Front inputs and quick setup make it easy to watch camcorder tapes on any TV with a coaxial or analog input. Hi-fi stereo is not listed, so sound will be basic.

Who it's for

Households watching home movies or old recordings get easy front hookups. Listeners who care about stereo sound from tapes should choose a hi-fi model.
