Review title: Disappointing
Product review: I bought this vcr after my old one died after nearly ten years of solid use. I didn't have huge expectations for the V4523S, since VCRs in general seem to be on the way out, replaced by DVD recorders and TiVO. However even with lowered expectations I found the V4523S to be very disappointing. Recording at the LP and SLP modes produced wobbly, grainy pictures with distorted sound. Even SP mode produced only mediocre recordings. I returned it after 2 days and picked up the cheaper Panasonic PV-V4022, which has turned out to be a better performer.
