Panasonic DMR-E75VS Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
Not a techie but LOVE this machine!!
This machine has changed our TV viewing lives!  Being able to watch a previously recorded show while recording one on a different channel at the same time is awesome.  Not having to wait to start watching something until it is done being recorded is even better.    <br />The only down side was the owner's manual which is probably the most illogical document I have ever laid my hands on.  The machine is flawless and easy to operate.  The dubbing works very well and very easily...all in all, one of my best purchases in a long time!
