Panasonic DMRE50S DVD Player/Recorder , Silver
Two strikes you're out
This recorder was great when it worked right.  Unfortunately, that wasn't very often.  The first unit I got would just shut off for no reason during recording. I returned it and got another.  This one stayed on at least, but it ruined a disk for every one it created successfully.  I've had enough of the Panasonic and am going to try another brand.<br />One bit of good news is that Amazon.com's return mechanisms work wonderfully.  So at least that part wasn't frustrating.
