Panasonic DMR-ES20K DVD Recorder
Plays my mind instead of my DVDs
My wife and I have spent at least 5 hours trying to figure out why this thing operates the way it does.  First, it more than occasionally locks up which requires you to unplug to correct; Second, it doesn't record based upon your scheduled setup...it either records early, not at all, or one day and not the next; Third, it will not play DVDs due to the Region Number mismatch even though there is an available menu option to play all DVDs (won't allow me to access this option).  Need I say more?  Don't waste your time on this one.
