Panasonic DMR-E60S DVD Player/Recorder , Silver
Can You Say &quot;BROKEN&quot;?
I sure wish I had the fantastic experience other reviewers had with this unit.<BR>I won't address the features or picture quality. They're fine.<br />The problem I've had is it breaks.<br />I got mine in 9/03. It is residing in my local Authorized Repair facility. For the third time. Here are the details:<BR>1. Firewire input failure. Repaired.<BR>2. Remaining inputs failed. Repaired.<BR>3. It's 1/19/04 as I write this. The unit has been in the shop since late Dec. '03 with its latest hissy-fit. This time it refused to burn-most of the time-and when it did the disks came out hotter than fresh asphalt and wouldn't finalize. The repair guys tell me it is taking so long because they cannot get the necessary part(s) from Panasonic.<br />I've complained to Panasonic via their website. Twice. They reply with a canned (read meaningless) reply within a couple of weeks. They don't seem to be terribly interested.<br />My advice: consider another brand.
