Panasonic DMR-E20S DVD Recorder and Player, Silver
Had same  format problem....    :-(
I had the same format problem as &quot;Reviewer: An Electronics Fan - March 23, 2002 review&quot; and called up Panasonic.  (Could only format 2 out of 15 Memorex DVD-RAM 9.4GB Disks, then bought a &quot;Panasonic DVD-RAM Disk&quot; and that wouldn't format either!!)  Phone Tech. said only problem people have called about is how to set unit up.  Figuring it was a fluke, I returned the unit and ordered another which should be here by April 23.  Unfortunately, I didn't see the other review until just now.  A &quot;Fluke&quot; or a &quot;Machine which should be Recalled&quot;?  I'll know in a couple days.  BTW - Still have not heard Anything from Panasonic about this problem, going on 4 weeks now.
