Panasonic DMR-E75VS Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
I would buy it again, and again.
The unit is not only slick looking, but also is very easy to operate. I did not even need to look at the manual that much to get it going. Dubbing is only one push of a button. If you have at least some general knowledge about technology you would not have any problems like reviewer: ElectronicsExpert \\"sheryl_i\\". I strongly disagree with her on everything she said. I find everything quite the opposite.     The only problem I have encountered, and I have had this recorder for 3 months now, is that you have to find the media which works for you.  Some of the newer x8 speed Memorex and TDK cause my recorder to restart and that annoys me. So I use x4 speed media and everything works great.     I would recommend using Ritek x4, x8 speed dvd-r that work perfect for me (I have tried quite a few brands).   And always remember to finalize the disk, so it can be played back on other dvd players.     I give this recorder 5 stars!!!    PS. Another feature I love is to record in flexible mode. If you need to record a show or transfer a tape that is say 2.1 hours that's when you use the flexible recording feature. No need to use LP(4hours) and get bad quality playback. With flexible recording you get a very decent qaulity picture as well.
