Panasonic DMR-ES15S Progressive Scan DVD Recorder
great dvd recorder for price
In contrast to early bad reviews had no trouble setting this up on a pretty complicated system (cable, dvr,front projector tv, high end component sound system).  Very easy to record and recording with good quality even when blown up to 106\\" picture.  Pre recorded discs look great with component out-  much better than my last proscan dvd player.  Menu on  self recorded discs showing a chapter or episode playing next to still scenes from other episodes is really cool.  Amazing technology for $160.
