Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's PV-D4761 not only saves valuable shelf space in your living room or bedroom, it's also a breeze to set up and operate. Now you can watch your favorite DVD movies, tape your favorite TV shows, and enjoy access to your legacy library of VHS videocassettes.

The PV-D4761's 4-head VHS videocassette player/recorder ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and with hi-fi sound the VCR records and plays back stereo audio tracks. Commercial Skip speeds past unwanted portions of your tape in 3-minute increments. Index search lets you zip right to your predefined index points, and VCR Plus+ Silver greatly simplifies advance programming and program selection. Other VCR features include auto head cleaning, auto repeat, and auto/manual digital tracking.

The disc drive plays DVD-Video (NTSC formatted), VCD (MPEG-1 video from a computer), and audio CD, with repeat, random play, and track programming as viewing/listening options. The DVD player can simulate surround-sound effects using just 2 speakers, so you'll still be able to appreciate a sense of surround sound even if you don't have a surround receiver or 6-channel speaker setup.

The unit features standard composite-video (DVD/VCR output), S-video (DVD only), and premium component video outputs (DVD only), as well as 2 sets of composite video inputs (1 on the front and 1 at the rear) and 1 each RF (coaxial-type) input and output for an antenna or tuner input and passthrough. There's also an optical digital-audio output to feed a 5.1-channel surround-sound signal to a Dolby Digital-decoding or DTS-decoding AV receiver. The PV-D4761 has 2 sets of stereo RCA analog audio outputs (both DVD/VCR) as well.

What's in the Box
DVD/VCR combo, a remote control, remote batteries, an RF coaxial video cable, a user's manual, and warranty information.

4 out of 5 stars Love It!.......2001-12-26

Great product. The manual I a bit tedious, but the product is great. Picture is good and features are nothing more special than you would find if you bought a separate VCR and DVD player, but I love having them both in one machine.

3 out of 5 stars Panasonic.......2002-01-27

It seems like Panasonic has a problem with illuminated remotes. I bought their 36" 3D/YC television, and it to had a poor lighted keypad. It's not that big of a factor, but it's a shame they can't get this right when you drop 1400.00 on a TV. Now they have what appears to be a quality DVD/VCR with another poorly lighted keypad.

2 out of 5 stars Big Brand Name Mediocre VCR Playback.......2002-01-11

I'm very proficient with electronics and even I had problems reading through the instruction manual I gave up after 2-3 minutes and hooked it up without it. It was easy enough. This DVD/VCR combo has every feature you could want including 5x search forward & backward, this was great especially with the DVDs. There are two disappointing facts however: the lighted remote only lights 8 keys NOT including numbers, volume or channel keys. Also the VCR picture quality was miserable in comparison to the Phillips DVD/VCR (but the Phillips ate my VCR tape, I didn't try another). This was very disappointing coming from Panasonic but I've experienced poor picture quality with their VCR PV-8664 as well. so much so I'm returning it this eve. I paid ... at PC Richards here in NY over priced due to poor picture quality, poor manual, and only eight keys lighting on the remote, but you've gotta love the features (though not enough to keep it).

4 out of 5 stars Good choice if limited on space.......2001-12-24

The item has performed very well. Needed something to play VHS and DVD for the kids and I only had limited space. The machine is easy to use and the front A/V inputs make it easy to hook up a video camera to watch home movies.

all in all we are very satisfied.

4 out of 5 stars Solid Performer.......2001-11-13

Basic set up to replace an existing vcr is simple and straight forward. Manual is extensive and could be inproved but info is all there. Unit seems very well made. Performance and controls are very good. The Panasonic CT-27D11 might be a good match to get the most out of this unit.

2 out of 5 stars Couldn't be much worse.......2001-10-23

The first bad thing about this unit is the manual, which is so poorly written that Panasonic wisely added a tech support number at the end of it. Since I'm reasonably handy with electronics, I got it set up after about 30 minutes without tech support, but found that I was having difficulty accessing the DVD special menus and chapters. After about 2 hours of frustration, I gave up. On calling tech support the next day, they informed me that the machine was probably defective. The DVD player was making a whirring noise on startup, and was skipping on audio CD's to boot. Add to that the fact that the "illuminated remote control" is misleading advertising. Only a handful of basic functions are illuminated (unless my remote was malfunctioning too -- a distinct possibility). The picture quality, (the little I saw of it) seemed fine. CD's played on the DVD sounded tinny, although the sound on the 15 minutes of DVD I got to watch seemed good. Most of all, the manual and the layout of the remote were too confusing for words. It couldn't be any worse!
