Reviewing: When recording in longplay it plays back shortplay - no picture, no sound

This machine is very frustrating. I record a film in longplay on a brand new tape, and it doesn''t play back the way I recorded it. SP appears on the screen instead, then the counter stops counting in the display of the unit and I get NO PICTURE OR SOUND at all. When I fastforward I can see that ...

This machine only worked occassionally, wrecked cds, constantly gave "error reports" etc. Finally after 6 months annoyance, Panasonic refsed a refund so I had to take it to the Panasonic repairer. They said the motherboard had been damaged during manufacture so coudn''t be repaired. Then contrary ...

I was bought this unit for a Christmas present 4 years ago. It worked well until a year ago, when the sound became echoey. It is now so bad that I can only use the analogue channels, as the digital sound is so difficult to decipher. This is disappointing as I thought it would see me through to ...
