The Panasonic PV-9450 is not cluttered with features that you'll probably never use anyway, but it does offer those that are important: 4-head video quality, stereo hi-fi sound, and on-screen programming. The unit also includes Panasonic's Multi-Brand Universal Light Tower Remote, which works with most TVs and cable boxes.
The PV-9450 impressed us with its simplicity; we took it out of the box, connected an antenna and TV, and plugged it in. We then followed the initial on-screen setup instructions and, by itself, the unit found the active broadcast channels and even set its clock. We played a prerecorded tape and found the picture to be crisp and sharp. The PV-9450's audio was rich and full, characteristic of hi-fi stereo.
Another interesting feature of the PV-9450 is a time stamp, which, at the beginning of a videotape, displays the time and date of your recording and the channel from which it was recorded. A tape-position display shows how close you are to the beginning or end of a tape.
The remote control, unlike the VCR, is a bit bulky, and its many buttons get in the way of the few you'll use most of the time. Of course, it is a universal remote, and, as such, must sacrifice some design elegance.
If the most important features to you are 4-head picture quality and hi-fi stereo sound, then Panasonic PV-9450 is a sensible choice.
Pros:
- Universal remote works with most TVs and cable boxes
- 4 heads for a clear picture
- Hi-fi stereo for great sound
Cons:
- Limited feature set

I was being very ambitious to convert my old family VHS tapes to MP4 format. If you do not know already, VHS tapes will degrade over time. I did not want to lose all these previous memories; I had all the equipment and connections to my home computer to make this happen. My VHS machine was unused for over 10 years, powered up, all good, loaded the first tape, pressed “play”, then a big nothing. Tried to eject, tape was stuck and the machine died, no power. I had to open the VHS machine and carefully remove the stuck tape. I am now left with a big decision, send all then tapes out to a service or purchase a used VHS tape player, (they are no longer made, so you can’t buy new). After counting my tapes, some of which were unlabeled and could be blank or have some obscure TV show on them. It was cheaper for me to purchase a used machine. I looked at a number of offerings on Amazon and settled on this model. I did not need any special features, this Panasonic VHS fit the bill.I was very pleased with the effort the seller made in shipping the unit, very well packaged in bubble wrap. The remote was included. Also packed new RCA AV cables which was a surprise. Unit was fully functional as advertised, including the remote. Tracking was terrific, VHS tapes played clearly without any issue. I will admit I “sprung” for a VHS head cleaner, very inexpensive, also available on Amazon.My project went well and to close the loop some of the unmarked tapes were indeed old TV shows. So, for me this was a wise investment over sending to a service.If you are stuck looking for a VCR, I recommend this seller as reliable. Happy with my project and can proudly say mission accomplished.

I am happy with the quality of the VCR, but it loses some of its value when the included remote does not work.

This is a little more than I'd have liked to pay for an old, dusty VCR, but it does work fine.Also, no remote was in the box like was advertised.

my father was writing a lot of the earlier critiques, since I was ill and in quarantine, and also unable to really do much online work of any kind. I understand there was a length of time for the item to arrive but I was sick myself, so no harm done. I couldn't do much....not sure what he wrote in the earlier posts, but while I am up and around, and slowly put the VCR together, ripping out the old RCA that recorded but had no sound. The new VCR is excellent. I was grateful to see it, and a little sad that I allowed my father to keep tabs on things and I assume use some harsh words.I would recommend using this supplier again and again. This is a superior VCR. if there are TVS VCRs, anything else too, I would buy from this supplier again and again.Chris
