Panasonic DMR-E55K Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player , Black
Love this machine....but.
I find this machine very easy to set up and use....no problem.  Excellent quality.  But I have found one problem that the Panasonic help desk says never came up before.  After recording and prior to finalization of a disk....the playback picture is perfect.  Once I finalize the disk....on playback I get periodic skips in audio and video.  Does not seem to matter if the recording was live tv, vhs....plays great prior to finalization of the disk, but after, a skip.  Don't know why.  Not sure if my machine is defective or not....anyone else have this problem?
