Panasonic DMRE85HS Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 120 GB Hard Drive Recording
Great in the beginning, but you will end up unhappy
From the minute we setup this unit, we fell in love with it.  The progressive scan playback was supurb, the remote was well made and functional and the TV guide worked fine for us after the 24 hr wait time per the manual. <br /> <br />After a couple of weeks, we noticed that you could not exit the TV guide as it would be \\"stuck\\" on the screen.  As others said, you had to unplug the unit even to get it to work.  Well this continued to the point where it was not usable anymore. <br /> <br />I tried calling Panasonic, but didn't want to wait the time on the phone.  I'm VERY glad I bought it from Amazon because they took it back with no questions asked and are refunding my money. <br /> <br />It's really too bad that this unit has issues.  Since most of these components are integrated, I would not risk getting one of these and \\"hope\\" it works since repair of the unit isn't really an option.  Either it works or it doesn't.
