Thanks Don for your comments regarding both talking vcrs.

I have had the Sharp for about eighteen months and really

like it.  I especially like the fact that the numeric indexing

system can easily be used by the blind and also the elapsed time

search.  The only search that a blind man cannot use on that

machine is the tape counter setting.  I use my vcrs mostly for

audio and was thinking about changing decks for my second machine

for tape copying purposes.  One thing that you cannot do with

the Sharp is to ascertain what is programmed in the machine after

you have once entered a program into the machine from the remote.

That is, you can do it visually, but you can't do it using audio

feedback.  Can you somehow do this with the Panasonic?  Thanks

for any info you can provide.  Don Roberts
