Panasonic DMR-ES10K DVD Recorder , Black
Novice learns the hard way.
Actually the recorder performs fairly well. The remote buttons can drive you crazy, however.  The main difficulty in owning this unit has to do with the instruction booklet. <br /> <br />The booklet shows diagrams for wiring it up.  The flyer added shows a different method.  Since neither of these instructions would work for me, I called for tech assistance.  This was a several day endeavor.  Getting through for help is a disaster.  When I finally made it through, and I told the tech about the multiple instructions I heard her laugh.  Actually she was very helpful.  I used a different hook-up which works fine. <br /> <br />Without having a friendly booklet, each step in learning has been grueling.  Panasonic needs to think what it means to be User Friendly. <br /> <br />Dave Rowan
