 Excellent Paperweight January 3, 2009
I paid top dollar for the Top-Of-The-Line Panasonic DVD Recorder & VCR Combo. This unit has the well-documented Panasonic EZ-series timer glitch. This glitch causes the unit to "forget" when timer recordings should start, so it fails to switch on and record either VHS or DVRs. I emailed Tech Support at Panasonic about this problem. They did NOT offer to replace the unit with something that works properly. They did NOT have a hardware/firmware fix. The best they could do was send me an Email detailing a sequence of button-pushes I should execute between every scheduled recording. I used to prefer to purchase Panasonic consumer electronics, and recomend them to others. This experience with a high-priced lemon has permanently soured me on Panasonic products.
Horrible December 14, 2008
This is perhaps the worst purchase I have ever made. This DVD player is horrible. It is slow. It is hard to use. TV channel tuning is a nightmare. DVD operation is unreliable. A "status" window appears on screen constantly and won't go away. I had to do a firmware upgrade just to get the thing to turn on. It takes 20-30 seconds just to warm up. I hate this thing. Don't buy it.
 Very Good HD-Like Recording December 8, 2008
I will try not to repeat what everyone already said on their reviews. This is a very good recording device for those who want to record HD content but don't want to pay monthly fees for services like TiVo.
As it was already pointed, the recorded program will be down-converted to SD (DVD quality if recorded in SP mode) and up-converted back to HD if you have an HD monitor. Obviously, you won't see it back in HD quality but it does a pretty decent job if you record in SP (and even in LP) mode.
In my experience after using this device for almost a year, I noticed that the smallest finger print on the DVD (I use DVD-RAM only) will cause it to stop recording at the least expected time. So try not to open the tray as much as you can.
If you are a fan of HD shows like 'Heroes', this DVD recorder is a good bang for the buck considering all the money saved in monthly fees. On the other hand, if you want to play back in HD, this unit is not for you. Instead, get TiVo, record Over-The-Air (OTA) using an HDTV-capable computer, or wait for an HD DVR that records OTA.
 After 9 months...kaput November 7, 2008
I have had this machine for 9 months and it has been okay. Plays DVD's in very good quality. It does not record in HD to DVD from a cable box. It is grainy to say the least downgrades to 480P for recording...sucks! Somewhat difficult to setup machine; now does not work, shows U99 on display and is frozen, only turns on and off and displays U99. Power down and back up=U99. Still under warranty but have to take it 261 miles away for warranty work. Cost of mailing is ridiculous. This thing is going in the trash.
Worked great until... November 3, 2008
I purchased this unit August 2007. There weren't many on the market then, and the cost was approx. bet. $250-$300. Took a bit to get the hang of and had a few initial questions/problems which cust. service helped with. The unit was not perfect, but worked fine for my needs.
I recently lost power for 11 hours due to a storm. When the power came back, the unit was not funtioning properly. Tried everything possible to reset it. There is a one year warranty, but since mine ran out, customer service suggested to send it for repair which could cost over $100! Very disappointed.
Informed that unit should be plugged into a surge protector as opposed to a wall outlet. I will do that in the future. Now need to start from scratch researching other products. Specifically looking for a VCR/DVD combo which allows recording on both discs and vhs tapes and has a digital tuner. I haven't seen many with glowing reviews. ho hum.
