Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
First One a Dud
Got it home, set it up, then began recording my favorite tv shows and movies. I like to edit out the commercials, which is a fairly easy process on this device. But on the second &quot;dubbing&quot; of the movies to a DVD-R disc, an error occured, the unit shut down, then rebooted with the words &quot;RECOVER&quot; on the display. Every time I tried to burn this movie to any DVD-R or DVD-RAM, I got the same error. After reviewing this movie on the hard drive, I noticed that the hard drive version had a point in the movie that caused it to stop in the middle of the movie. The hard drive was slowly getting errors on it, eventially causing the unit to shut down completely and never would recover again.( this happened over the course of a week) I took it back to Circuit City after only 1 1/2 weeks and got a replacement. So far so good on the second unit. Other than that issue, I like the unit, the controls, and flexibility of it. I do wish it would allow me to make copies of purchased tapes onto DVD-R...the system will not allow this.<BR>I strongly recommend purchasing a warranty on this item.
