Panasonic DMRE85HS Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 120 GB Hard Drive Recording
Stay away from this recorder!
After 7 weeks my DMR-E85HS failed completely.  Other users have been reporting similar nightmares.  It was nice when it worked, but I have been waiting over 2 months for it to be serviced.  Finally, as the result of numerous phone calls to Panasonic, they agreed to replace the unit.  Unfortunately they tried to pull a fast one by attempting to replace it with a DMR-EH50 having a lower hard drive capacity and list priced at 75% of the DMR-E85H!  That's fraud in my book! <br /> <br />If this happens to you, write a letter to the Panasonic Consumer Affairs division and also send a copy to your local Dept. of Consumers Affairs.
