Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
Very happy with my Panasonic E80H
My goal in buying this machine was to make DVD copies of all my precious family S-VHS family videos from as far back as 1934. I have them edited, titled, and with dubbed music backgrounds.  I simply copy (by S-video cables)from my Sony DVD player      directly to the Panasonic DVD recorder.  I have thus copied over about 50 such DVD's,without a hitch. Results are perfect! The DVD's used were DVD-R (Panasonic--not too easy to find in stores--Maxell, and FujiFilm DVD-R)  All worked perfectly.  I am very happy with the Panasonic recorder!
