Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
FANTASTIC RECORDER!!
I recently purchased this Panasonic DVD recorder for my digital cable tv and was so impressed that I bought a second one for another television. The hookup is simple, as it connects to your cable tv exactly the same way as the vcr does. Only now, I have replaced two vcr's with these two dvd recorders. I have been archiving old vhs tapes onto dvds by simply connecting the a/v output from the vcr to the a/v input on the dvd recorder, conveniently located on the front of the machine. It's a pleasure to have my wedding video and other home movies on dvd, certain to last a lifetime. Another fantastic feature: I can connect my digital camcorder directly to the a/v input on the recorder and transfer the videos directly onto dvd. And recording from cable tv is fantastic, as I can record onto the hard drive and transfer the program to disc if it is worth keeping, or simply deleting it with a touch of a button if it is not worth keeping. The movies on cable channels that I like are now being recorded onto dvd with excellent results and this recorder records in dolby digital 2 channel. If you can find the dvd-r discs on sale, as I recently did, you can pay as little as a dollar a disc. What a great way to build a movie collection without spending tons of money. However you look at it, this machine is just awesome. I was not disappointed. Great job Panasonic!
