Panasonic DMR-ES10S DIGA Series DVD Recorder , Silver
I almost spent 3 times the money
Buying a DVD recoreder was a new venture for me.  I did extensive research and read every review I could find about Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba and others.  Through these reviews I determined that I needed to spend $500-$600 for what I wanted. <br /> <br />Then I stumbled on a review which mentioned this model, before it actually came out. I checked it out and bought it the first week out and paid $189-. <br /> <br />The product works perfectly, but if this is a new process to you, it is not easy.  The instruction book is not very helpful. I had to call panasonic cust support twice to get help with hook up and operation. After using it, is gets much easier. But do your homework about the DVD recording and playback formats before you buy anything.  You could end up with something you dont want. <br /> <br />No need to spend big bucks on others, this model does most everything you need. I highly recommend it. <br /> <br />
