Panasonic DMR-EH50S DVD Recorder with 100 GB Hard Drive Recording
More than frustrating
This is the second of these machines that I've had; the first one had to be replaced because it became essentially inoperable after 3 weeks. The new one lasted 1 month before it began misbehaving: it won't record unless it's left on, the controller doesn't work as it should. Yes, when it works, the quality of the recording is good, and that's all I do with it. Nothing fancy or demanding. And yes, as a technical writer I would say that the manual is in need of an overhaul. I will give it one more try, going back to the default values and going through the setup procedure once more. If it fails again, it goes back for a refund. Panasonic should do better by its customers.
