Panasonic DMR-ES10K DVD Recorder , Black
Panasonic DMR-ES10k
This is my first DVD recorder, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I expected more.  It is very slow to recognise the blank DVD disk when inserted or at start up.  The remote seems confusing as the functions don't seem to be there, you have to pick a catagory of what you want to do and then walk through till you get to the desired function, then there doesn't seem to be an easy out.  Also, after finalizing the disk, it still wouldn't play on my other DVD players or PC, which was very disappointing.  Not thrilled with this, but it does do the job.
