Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic PV-V4540 is one of Panasonic's newest VCR designs for 2000. This model offers hi-fi stereo audio output and four-head tracking along with a host of convenience features such as VCR+ Silver programming and a multibrand universal Light Tower remote. VCR+ Silver allows you to program your VCR simply by entering the VCR+ codes found in your local newspaper or TV Guide. Allset automatic channel mapping, included with VCR+ Silver, uses your ZIP code to program the VCR with local channel information. Equipped with an automatic clock-set function, the Panasonic PV-V4540 receives data from your local PBS channel to set and back up the clock and date automatically.
The Panasonic PV-V4540 features a trilingual onscreen display, commercial skip, index search, program-end search, and tape-position display. Commercial skip enables you to zip through unwanted, recorded advertisements at the touch of a button. This VCR also offers audio-video (A/V) inputs on both the front and rear panels, which is convenient for connecting a camcorder. In the box you receive the Panasonic PV-V4540 VCR, an A/V cord, and the remote control. The Panasonic PV-V4540 comes with a warranty of a year on parts, 90 days on labor.

Solid Product, But Some Annoyances,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic PV-V4540 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (Electronics)
Picture and sound quality are excellent, and the styling is attractively different (for instance, the front A/V inputs are not color-coded, as is usually the case, but are black, so that they don't stand out jarringly against the black case). The remote, though full-functioned, is poorly laid out, with tiny buttons for some important functions. Pressing the REW or FF buttons when the VCR is already in that mode does not, as on most other machines, initiate the fast rewind or fast-forward modes; to access those you have to press STOP then REW or FF. Most annoying of all, the VCR lacks a precise hour and minute timer for tape position; it has only a scale (that shows up on your TV image) that indicates roughly where the tape is positioned, between beginning and end. If you need to know precisely where you are on a tape, you'll want a different VCR.

Pretty happy with it,
By "stravinsky2" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic PV-V4540 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (Electronics)
No major annoyances. Little ones: you cannot use the number buttons to enter channels when you program the timer; for timer programming you need to first deselect VCR plus (which I find useless) and then start; when you start play the timer counter is not automatically displayed for a few seconds. Good things about it: the remote seems to work even behind the coffee table; you can stop a recording using the remote (power+stop). These are things I couldn't do with my old Phillips Magnavox (pretty crappy). I disagree with some of the other reviewers: I don't know of any VCR that can play European tapes; I find the commercial skip button pretty useless...[and] that some important buttons are too small (especially the channel-changing buttons).

Don't miss it!,
By Shaival (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic PV-V4540 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (Electronics)
This panasonic vcr has so many great features. The best one is the commercial skip. I always wanted a vcr with this feature, and finally I got one. It has one of the best recording system. Recoreded movies sounds just like the original one. Its remote is handy and has eject function. This is all you need.
