Worked OK for 4 years, now no picture, just audio
It wasn't a great VCR, but it did work, for 4 years. Only 4 years. One day, today, it stopped showing the video. You could hear the audio, but no video. Everything the other folks are saying about this thing is true: it's noisy rewind and fast forward. I thought my previous VCR, a Hitachi, didn't last long when it died after 9 years. 4 years is ridiculous. Stay away from Panasonic.
