Panasonic DMR-E500HS DIGA DVD Recorder with 400 GB Hard Drive and Ethernet Port
Not a bad machine, but has some bugs!!
I really love my Panasonic DMR-E500HS DVD recorder, but it is not without problems. I've had several errors occur into the recording phase. Usually, with the pull of the plug and letting the unit reset, all worked fine after. I have had several problems with the TV Guide disappearing for days at a time, and even up about 4 months this past summer. I've owned my machine for 13 months. One issue I've had with my unit is the fact the right channel on input does not work. That means if I record from a VCR and want true stereo sound, I only get the left channel. It's been this way since I purchased it. It doesn't matter what input channel you use, the right audio track doesn't record into the unit. Beyond that, the unit is great for taping live television. I love the capacity on the hard drive. <br />
