Although my Panasonic S-VHS ET VCR has some wonderful features and sounds good, I am unimpressed with reliability. It needed a new board after only about 6 months. Since then, it's been ok, but I have had much better luck with my JVC 3600U, another S-VHS ET VCR. The JVC lacks the commercial skip and the high-speed winding that the Panasonic has, but offers better playback quality on tapes made on other machines.I highly recommend an S-VHS ET machine. The picture quality is vastly better than standard VHS, even in SLP speed using cheap standard VHS tapes. Street price on the Panasonic is about $199, JVC machines run from about $110 to $400.
