Hi Don; Well I don't have the panasonic vcr so i really can't give you an
objective comparison.
There is one plus about the sharp though that I would like to point out.
I think that after using either vcr for a while you would be quite comfortable
with them.
The sharp is useable right out of the box for a blind person and the panasonci
is not.
With the panasonic the menus must be read to the blind person and memorized and
after that you can use it quite easily.
the sharp has a talking remote and when you hit the program button it talks you
through programing the vcr.
the panasonic doesn't do that it merely confirms how things are set after you
have done it.
I think they are both good but I would still preferr the sharp.
If you buy the sharp from IRTI, you can also get cassette manuals for the unit
which helps a lot.
