Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
Throw out the VCR.
You can't set the clock on your VCR? Then this unit is not for you. If you need an RF output (channel 3 or 4) then you will need to buy an adapter for $15-$30, sold by Radio Shack, WalMart and others. There are 3 set of AV inputs and 2 sets of AV outputs all with &quot;S&quot; video connectors. The only digital connection is for Optical audio-out with all the others being analog. An experienced person should have no trouble connecting and using the E80H. The manual is clear but some parts may have to be re-read. Only a &quot;Gifted Few&quot; will be able to use all the features of this recorder without reading the manual. Connections are easy and most of the cables are supplied. If properly connected before you first power-up the clock should set itself. I have used different brands of disks and have experienced no problems. Once you &quot;Finalize&quot; a DVD-R it becomes a DVD VIDEO and should play in any or all stand alone DVD Players. A DVD VIDEO disc is what you would rent at BlockBuster. I record from a Satellite Receiver and the results are great. I would recommend the Panasonic DMR-E80H to everyone.
