Panasonic DMRE85HS Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 120 GB Hard Drive Recording
Panasonic DMRE85HS  Well Worth the Money
This unit is very easy to set up and use.  I bought it for converting Family VHS movies to DVD.  I wanted to preserve our children's formative years to a better format. The picture quality and recording quality is the best on the market!  The ease of use is definately a 5!  One other feature that is a huge bonus is having the 120 GB Hard Drive it acts like a TIVO but without the subscription FEES!  All in all I don't think you can go wrong with this unit.  It's a DVD Player, TiVo, Analog to Digital recorder and if you have the old VHS tapes it is invaluable to preserving your precious memories!
