Panasonic DMRE85HS Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 120 GB Hard Drive Recording
Great  when it works
I purchased my unit in December and had relatively no problems until March.  It turns out there are some known problems Panasonic is addressing.  My unit has been at the repair shop for about a month.  Very responsive Customer service when you speak to the right person.  It appears the TV Guide/Gemstar had done a patch on their software that caused all sorts of problems for this unit.  Supposedly this has been addressed and is fixed/being fixed.  My units TV Guide would not activate each morning unless I physically unplugged the unit.  There was an upgraded firmware as well as some of the units would not completely reset (pressing power button for several seconds)  Another way to reset (soft reset) is to press channel up and down at the same time.  These are some of the things I have learned with this unit.  My unit is due back on Friday and I will update this review once I get to thoroughly test the unit.
