This is a common question that comes up quite often. The name “Panasonic AG-1980 “and “Panasonic AG-1980P” are one and the same! The front of the VCR has “Panasonic AG1980” stenciled on it, while the serial number label on the back says “Panasonic AG1980P”. This is the same on all Panasonic AG1980s. The added “P” also appears above the serial number sticker on all Panasonic VCRs from that era. ie. Panasonic AG-1330P.
