Panasonic PV-V4623S 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, Silver

Amazon.com The PV-V4623S offers everything from four-head playback and stereo sound to commercial advance, one-month/eight-event advance programming, and front-panel audio/video inputs for a camcorder, gaming console, or second VCR--all in a chassis designed to complement other entertainment equipment. This VCR's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, while hi-fi sound records and plays back stereo audio tracks. If you route the stereo output to an AV receiver, you can even enjoy four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes. Commercial advance marks the beginning and end of each commercial break during off-air recording and skips them during playback, while movie advance jumps past opening advertisements and previews on rental tapes. Index search lets you zip right to predefined index points, and tape-position display indicates how much room is left on a tape, before or during recording. Program end search lets you find the end of a recorded program without repeated button pushing and guesswork. By simply pressing the "search" button twice on the remote control, you can choose "Program End Search" from the onscreen menu to help find the desired tape location. Panasonic has imbued the PV-V4623S with its Ready-to-Play feature: as soon it's plugged in the combo automatically sets its own clock and local TV channels. Other features include rapid rewind/fast-forward and tape-position display (an onscreen icon depicting your current tape position, a visual indication of the remaining tape length). The PV-V4623S comes with a universal remote control.
