Panasonic DMR-E30S Progressive Scan DVD Recorder
Great Recorder - Minus Incompatible Media
I love this recorder!  I never knew how convienient life could be by recording some of my favorite shows to DVD-RAM and watching them in the order and way that I like.  This is especially handy for those who enjoy cooking shows.<br />Overall this is the most best system I have found, but I have had issues with finding compatible DVD-R media.  The benefit with using DVD-R over DVD-RAM is you can &quot;finalize&quot; the DVD-R's and use them on any DVD player that supports the DVD-R format including computers and some older players.  <br />I have used 4 types of DVD-R media with 3 of the varieties not being compatible with this recorder.  I have found that the TDK brand of media works every single time and works great on all other DVD players I have tested a finalized disc with.<br />I would highly recommend this unit for anyone who has a TiVo or other DVR and wants to have the same type of functionality of playback while still keeping space on your DVR for more recordings.
