Not if you want half-decent picture quality. The Panasonic has a built-in
digital timebase corrector. Without it you will see all the flaws in a VHS
recording which are not normally visible such as flagging at the top of the
screen and line-tearing across the whole picture. It's also best to use a
S-VHS machine as the original playback source otherwise you will be encoding
unwanted composite video artefacts as well.
