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
I had one of these. In the early days, Panasonic convinced some of the UK's main listings guides to publish the bar codes for individual programmes - however I think the only example I saw was the Radio Times only using them on the films page.
I have the remote and heavy plastic pages. The vcr was great. Very thin, mine was a good few marks after. Must have been a '91-93 model. It had audio and video dubbing. Really wish we kept it. I remember doing cringe worthy lip sync. I One I'll never forget was taking live Gulf war footage and placing fresh prince audio behind it. This was on the fly, it synced perfectly.
This was a much better system than the Video + system we adopted in the UK, Shame it didn't catch on.. I had one of these recorders and for a brief moment the TV magazines had barcodes underneath the TV show you scanned to programme your VHS recorder. it was faultless.. This was dropped in favour of the Video + system which was a sequence of numbers you typed in to the vhs recorder (via the remote) which then programmed the VHS with the relevant tv show to record.
Video Plus+ had other names depending on what part of the world you lived in: Video Plus+ in Ireland or the United Kingdom, ShowView in South Africa and other parts of Europe, VCR Plus+/Silver/Gold in Canada and the United States, and G-Code in Australia, China, Japan, and some other countries. I never had VCRs with either of VCR Plus+, Video Plus+, ShowView, or G-Code, so I have no idea how well that worked compared to Panasonic's barcodes.

I still have this Barcode Scanner :D
And it works ^ ^
I still have the working scanner, but I have given up on finding the original sheet :/
those two characters were the helping hands from labyrinth, weren't they?
I think they are. This commercial is from 1987 and the film came out a year prior.

This was the best system ever it worked real well.
they should bring the scanner thing back
I love it
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.
LOL, just scan those channels on the cashier's bar code reader! xD

Helping Hands ripped right from Labyrinth... wonder if they stole the idea or used the same people from the film?

Was this a very early precursor to QR Codes today?
