Panasonic DMR-E95HS Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder with 160 GB Hard Drive
I Will Never Buy Panasonic Again
As I am writing this, my DMR-E95H is in continual reboot mode after I tried to burn a DVD and it apparently does not like the media.  Panasonic's customer support is non-existent.  They ignore emails and the toll free support number is always busy.  After reading several different forums I find that I am not the only one extremely disappointed with Panasonic.  Several others have unpacked their brand new unit only to find it DOA.  Those who have tried to take their unit to a service center have horror stories of waiting weeks for a fix only to get it home and find that it still has problems. <br /> <br />When the unit is working it is slow, the menus are badly organized, the functions are awful.  Sometimes one must press 'return' to leave a function, other times 'stop' is required.  The program menu is a complete disaster and makes the user develop blisters to press enough keys to page through selections.  This unit is simply the most horrendous piece of consumer electronics I have ever purchased. <br /> <br />Actually, considering all the problems and lack of support, I am considering reporting Panasonic to the Texas Attorney General and Better Business Bereau.  Maybe TechTV.  Heck, anyone!  This is  the most ripped-off I have felt in years.  I paid enough for a top of the line product and am stuck with a total lemon.
