This VCR is similar to another one I own. the Panasonic 1320P. The only difference is this one has a feature called Super Drive, which I believe is a faster tape transport. My older unit got long in the tooth and I bought this one as a replacement. I bought a remote to go with it and it works great. Excellent quality, crystal clear picture and fast controls, A+
It was difficult to find an affordable VHS player at a price I was willing to pay, and this was right in my price range. This player seems to be working perfectly.
