Panasonic DMRE85HS Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 120 GB Hard Drive Recording
Started out bad - REAL bad...
Maybe not all owners are aware - so here is a quick tid bit.  I had nothing but trouble with my new E85HS DVR.  Response to the remote was sporadic, frequent hangups, required many resets.  Essentially, it was unusable.  Then I found out about a firmware upgrade that was available from the Japanese panasonic website.  You burn this to CD (from your computer) then place it in the DVR.  The dVR recognizes it for what it is and begings firmware upgrade.  This fixed all of the problems I was having with the unit.   <br />By the way, US Panasonic tech help will not tell you about this firmware (this was true as of 3/2004 when I purchased my unit). <br />
