LOL, just scan those channels on the cashier's bar code reader! xD

[raphaeldantasbrazil]

i just found the remote here. Lol.

I didnt remember what the hell was this. Going to my trash can.

[Macintosh3745]

lol.

[romance2365]

they should bring the scanner thing back

[LOVETOYOTAS]

@romance2365  i think so to this was Panasonics idea and the best idea i think

[VideoJunkei]

I think I have the scanner remote somewhere, but the vcr is gone...

[scottblake]

Forget about the barcodes, those talking faces made of hands are great. Nice commercial.

[splotchwork5000]

Panasonic bring this one back! the reason being, now of days i know of so many persons whom can't program their stnd DVD/VHS recorders. and all the step-by-step menus? this blows it all away...by itself!

[tomcat5100]

I can't believe it has picture in picture!

[LOVETOYOTAS]

Sorry i worded that wrong This is the best system ever. So so easy and simple to use you don't even have to turn your tv on to programme it. Best idea ever Panasonic

[LOVETOYOTAS]

This was the best system ever it worked real well.

[dijeinyje]

Sounds really impractical.

[House0fwax]

I had one of thoes vcr's. It was a pain to program with the barcode reader. Mind you, it did have picture in picture.

[deadmallsanita]

I saw a print ad for this vcr in Sports Illustrated when I was a little kid and I thought it was the greatest idea ever -- keep in mind I was like eight.

[cpowers94]

How long did that last?

[petro1986]

got one up in my attic, with the transformers movie inside as the eject button doesn't do what it says it should do...

as in, it's broken! YAYA
