- The tagline "just slightly ahead of our time" is even funnier when the product being advertised is a VCR you can program via pay phone.
One of 13 Nostalgia-Heavy Commercials to Make You Pine for 1987:

i love panasonic stuff. i still record lost every week with my 1987 vhs. my 30 inch 1999 tv has a nice picture still. long live panasonic...
Can you teach a 22 year old to record using a VCR? :)
You are wonderfull man ❤, im allways Love VCR's Wish they come back in D-Vhs form
I never heard about using a phone to program your VCR before back in the day
Me neither, maybe it's a commercial mistake.
ive seen some that do, there's a phone jack on the back of it where you plug your phone line in, and then you can call your phone number and the vcr picks up, and thats how you control it
one of the better commercials ive seen in my day. great idea, great delivery...
Use your VHS vcr videorecorders and blank VHS tapes to get even with the news media and tell your friends to just use their vcr videorecorders !
I never found programming my 1985 Betamax very hard. I actually found VCR+ to be harder because you had to punch in the exact number and sometimes with all the narrow rows of shows and channels you can accidentaly mess up. It still is a good idea, but once you lose your remote, you're screwed.
Featured Panasonic VCRs:
1. PV-S4764
2. PV-4860
3. PV-4826
Panasonic, bring the old slogan back ("Just slightly ahead of our time"). The newer one is much worst. I'll be getting a Panasonic 3DO, a Panasonic Omnivision VCR, a Philips CD-I or a TurboGrafx-16 gaming system in the near future.
Brandon Reina Then? Then who's gonna program your VCR? :'(
Still slightly ahead of our time.
Wow it's exactly like a modern commercial just a different quality.
The XBox One really does look like a VCR. hahaha XD
(c)1987,2021 Panasonic.
Anyone notice how scratch resistant Blu-Ray disks are?
wow. making your child obsolete. BEST VCR EVAH!!!
you can program it with your phone? holy crap that is cool! there are plenty of times where I have left the house and forgot to record something , and I would think about how cool it would be to call my vcr and set it to record from the keypad.
Its Actually Interesting feature
Kinda ironic because I am 22, my mom taught me how to use a VCR when I was 8 and I never needed any help...
the best machine. PANASONIC is the only domah producer of good VCRS
I love the old VCR's. Do they still have the VCR plus stuff nowadays?
No. I doubt such old tech isn't needed for DVRs.
wow, programming a vcr by phone. now you can program a dvr on the internet. isn't technology grand?
Good day
I have 1 of this years models PV-3700-K. It needs repair, but looks mint!
It is small compared to other models during that time..
Their tv's were also good at that time..
Yes I have the same era working tv
If that were the kids' parents, he came out all right. They're like 67yrs old.
".....For the memoryyy of a lifetime, Rekall, Rekall, Rekaaaaallll....."
yeah, that voice, right?!
Nowadays, kids need their grandparents to teach them how to use a VCR... and they call them the tech savy generation! XD
"HA!" to the description .
I have the first deck.
gods we had one of these! the penthingy always messed up! it was such a pain to use!
You can even use a phone to record on your VCR? What do I gotta use an Apple I rotary phone or Samsung Galaxy Rotary 360 spin dial?
I have this commercial in my collection somewhere. Program with a touch tone phone? I guess it works like my Panasonic pure cassette answering machine (digital answering machines and voice mail suck) call your phone number press your 2 digit code and # and a menu prompts you from there of course you have to hook your VCR to a phone jack like with Dish or Directv. I am still trying to find one that works on ebay.
They just got condom's too.
Anyone notice how old the parents look? They look like they're in their 60s and the kid has to be around 8.
not only that dvds get damaged to easily tapes only die whn they have been played and recorded on for forever
@DisneyBlackJet sorry that you're stuck in the past
Wait. How can you program a VCR from a touch-tone phone??
+West McAllister (Wes) I know right? Makes no sense lol
West McAllister I think by assisting someone over the phone to program it. Easy.
Why was programming the VCR so hard? You really had to press 3 or 4 buttons and you were set.
At THE TIME, al least in our 1989 VCR,
(no OSD)
you had to
open the small lid
Push Timer
number of event starts flashing on display
push "DAY" until event appears
push SET and use + and - buttons again to set hour
the same for minutes
PUSH "Check" , will show what was programmed
If no tab on tape, will eject it and "timer" will flash.
@Saberspark brought me here
lol. Were adults already beginning to be technologically illiterate back then
@regressing2apes i love Panasonic stuff to. Sony is crap compared to Panasonic i keep a close eye on this kind of stuff and Panasonic is just the best far better than any Sony product. We have had alot of trouble with Sony products so now if i want something its Panasonic only!!
Panasonic electronic
How long did Panasonic use the "Just slightly ahead of our time." slogan?
"Just slightly ahead of our time" (1970s-1990s)
Shit, and all I have is a rotary payphone :(
LOOOL This is funny hahaha xD
