Panasonic DMR-E55K Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player , Black
Great basic machine!
We already have the panasonic E80h w/hard drive.Love it so much we had to get a second recorder just to keep the peace!While I highly recomend getting a DVD recorder w/ hard drive,the E55K  will do just fine as a secondary recorder.If you use DVD-RAM discs,it is possible to duplicate many of the same functions of a hard drive.The DVD-R discs are an economical alternative if write once will work for you.This recorder is also priced comparably with &quot;no name&quot; units!Can't go wrong here!
