Don't bother. I bought one and somehow lost the receipt which was a big mistake. I would love to return it. Very noisy movement, worst buzzing i've heard on a VCR. Archaic and weird programming. Have to scroll thru numbers on screen rather than type them on key pad. Can't do repeats or M-F program or if you can I haven't figured it out. It shouldn't be this difficult! Remote is the worst, most illogical podge of buttons. I could go on. Just say no!

This is the worst VCR I've ever had. Can't program a channel on timer if the channel is higher than 125. Lots of noise, picture quality is poor, remote is very poorly designed. Menu is difficult to understand. Overall a low quality VCR.

I'm packing it in the box and returning it tomorrow.

This VCR does not display a good quality picture. After trying many different tapes in it, each one will have faint lines through the picture. It doesn't happen all the time, but does happen every time I use it. I am in the process of finding out how I can return it.

We have always loved Panasonic VCRs. We bought 3 4021s in a row and all were bad out of the box. Terrible pictures, waves, columns of colors. I called the 800 number and they said to returned them, bad heads. We bought one several models up and have been disappointed. I think it is time to try another brand!!

I just got off the phone with Panasonic about this unit that I bought here--mine was streaking, bad audio traking, finally just started eating the tape. The customer service representative at Panasonic refused to do anything about it--even though there are several posts of the exact same thing happening here--and actually asked me "Don't you agree that every product a company puts on the market is potentially defective?" Stay clear of this product, and THIS COMPANY.
