Panasonic DMR-ES20K DVD Recorder
Non-standard set-up
I am very disappointed with this Panasonic DVD product. I have both a cable box and a cable modem through which I get my Internet connection. This unit requires that the cable from the wall is Directly Connected to the RF in terminal. That is, the cable from the wall must be split with a splitter (which is NOT included) with one connection going to the cable box and the other connection to the RF in terminal of the Panasonic. You cannot use the common connection of the cable being connected to the cable box and then the box being connected to this unit which is then connected to the TV. I have never seen a VCR or DVD player or recorder where this common connection method cannot be used. In my case, I already use a spitter to get the Internet so I have NO way to connect this unit so that it can work. Be Warned!!
