Panasonic DMR-ES20K DVD Recorder
Impressed.
So far, I am very happy with the Panasonic DMR-ES20K DVD Recorder. I did need to use the instruction manual to get up and running, but it only took a few minutes and I was burning my first DVD. I bought this unit to record shows saved on my TiVo, and it's working great so far. It allows you to name the chapters, among many other features, which I haven't learned yet.<br /><br />I tried burning the first DVD using some cheap DVD+R media that I had laying around (TEON DVD+R 8X that I purchased at Staples a while back) and it worked like a charm. Once I finalized the DVD (as other reviewers have noted, skipping this could be the problem that other users have had) I was able to play it on my other DVD player, and also in my iMac without any problems. In this regard, the product has definitely exceeded my expectations.<br /><br />Overall, it has a rich feature set, works well for burning DVDs from TiVo, and does everything I expected it to do. Being able to burn to cheaper DVD+R media is icing on the cake. A great value -- I am glad I purchased it and have already recommended it to a friend.
