Panasonic DMR-ES20K DVD Recorder
A Good Unit
The Panasonic is a good value recorder. It's on-screen guide is easy to use and helpful. Even the Panasonic toll free number, into Chesapeake Virginia, was helpul in setting up.  The recording quality is very good in both the 2 hour and 4 hours mode; and works fine with SONY DV-RW and the RAM disk.  I bought a SONY at first which toted recording all formats, but at another $100, why i asked. I decided to take it back in favor of the Panasonic. I do wish the remote had a better way of fast forwarding through commericals, like a \\"plus 30 second\\" feature. Overall, I'd recommend this recorder as a good value.
