Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
Benefit of the Doubt
I too was persuaded by the reviews here to select the DMR-E80HS; unfortunately, when my unit arrived it did not function at all. Happily, there was an authorized Panasonic repair service only 12 miles away (all the others are 40+ ). Several days later I got the unit back--its hard drive was replaced. So far everything looks ready to go, so I'm hoping for the best. Given the complex technology today I can expect a few glitches here and there, so I won't be condemning this model for its intial stumble.
