Panasonic DMR-ES20K DVD Recorder
Good entry level but the 15 is better
Pass this one by for the ES-15 which has more features and capability. But if you can get it cheap, it is a good entry level recorder. <br /> <br />The next step up is a HD recorder which is much better for time shift viewing, but the ES-20 is fine for doing the same as long as you have plenty of DVD-RW or DVD RAM disks. The RAM is better for editing out commercials and setting up chapters. <br /> <br />It is an excellent machine for transferring home VHS movies to DVD-R. The DVD is actually of better quality than the VHS since the ES20 cleans up noise. <br /> <br />Very happy with it.
