Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
Three Items of consideration
1) The titles that you attach to a program allow a certain amount of characters.  The dubbing process truncates the field reducing the amount of visable title.  <br />2)Some DVD-R's of lower quality do not dub properly. Error message on the T.V. \\"Error has occured, please press enter\\" then the unit shows the message \\"recover\\".  Not all the programs get copied and you cannot finalize the disk.  Another disk in the garbage.  Verbatim DVD's gave me problems. Only half the disks allowed sucessful dubbing. I have switched to Maxell DVD's today.<br />3) My digital cable box looks worse than regular cable and therefore only use it on the higher chammels.  The lower cable channels are better quality by using the cable splitter direct to the unit and using the tuner.<br />4) Avoid having your [risque] movie as the last item taped. When starting the HDD it automatically plays being the last item on the list. Not a good thing with the kids around.<br />Other than that I am sold on the unit
