Complicated!
| Setup for cable is quick and easy through your cable box. However, picture quality during dvd play is terrible due to constant vertical waves, but does not occur when you're watching cable television run through the player. Unlike my previous Samsung dvd/vcr player, you have to add the 3-outlet video component cables PLUS a pair of audio cables to get decent a/v from dvds. Then you have to remember to switch back to "tv" component to watch cable tv. Has an internal clock for recording, but no clock display. Item is new, not remanufactured. On the plus side, dvds that "skipped" on my previous dvd/vcr player do NOT skip on the Panasonic. |

Where's the Clock?
| I bought this to replace my VCR and my Apex DVD player. I wanted something rather simple and not too fancy. I am satisfied with the Panasonic, but I have one complaint. I have lost my glow-in-the-dark clock to which I have been accustomed for the past 15 or so years that I have had a VCR in my bedroom. Silly oversight in my opinion... |

Very satisfied
| I could have bought a cheeper unit, but I didn't like the poor reviews other players got. I use this unit to view my store bought VCRs and DVDs and it works perfectly. This is an extremely complex piece of electronics equipment and the user manual can be quite itimidating. It was written by "techno geeks" for "techno geeks". However, you don't have to be intimidated. I could re-write the manual for someone like me in a single sentence; "Run the cables from the unit to your TV (a simple task), then press VCR if you want to watch a VCR, or press DVD if you want to watch a DVD. Then press "play". I would buy this same unit again if I needed another one. |
