Panasonic  DMR-ES40VS VHS / DVD Recorder Silver
excellent product
I had purchased a similar DVD/VHS recorder a month prior from a different company (not at Amazon).  I exchanged it 3 times and was giving up.  I saw this, I knew Panasonic was a great brand, and it has been easy, user friendly, and when I called customer service, they responded quickly and explained all the programming that I was uncerain about.  The price is excellent, the picture is crystal clear.  I highly recommend this.
