4 out of 5 stars DVD Player/Recorder VCR   December 18, 2008
Delivery was prompt and everythings appears to work properly. Haven't managed to geet all my shows recorded on schedule yet, but that is not a problem of the device.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent transaction. Quality equipment   December 14, 2008
The VCR\DVD player recorder with tuner is just what I was looking for. It is a great asset to my living room.


4 out of 5 stars A couple of "lock-ups" in 2 years of ownership, otherwise great   November 27, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've had this DVD-R/VCR for 2 years. In that time, I have had about 5 or 6 lock-ups, once or twice where I had to unplug the unit. However, other than that the machine has performed well for me.

I've time-shifted both with DVD-R and VCR and had no problems. I also copied VCR tapes to DVD and been able to add chapter information afterward. The machine picks up unencrypted Comcast cable channels, too.

Unfortunately, another of this machine's flaws is that it picks up BLANK channels; by that I mean they are not staticky, but they have nothing on them. Since these make up most of the unencrypted channels this thing receives, it means I either have to manually delete the channels or I have to keep pressing channel up to pass them by. My Vizio & ViewSonic TVs did not have this problem. They only picked up channels that had information on them (shows, movies, whatever).

But all of the other functions I have used on it (sleep timer, input source, FFW/REW, pause, clock setting, etc) have worked as I expected. Also, it has been able to read damaged DVDs better than my home theater PC (probably because it's hardware error correction rather than software). This machine is way better than the Samsung I replaced with the Panasonic.



1 out of 5 stars Junk out of the Box   November 25, 2008
Very disappointing. We've usually liked Panasonic products, but this one was defective junk right out of the box.

Something is not right with the software. We couldn't get it to set up/program properly. It kept hanging up and just getting stuck on one screen or another. And we could never get it to open the DVD tray at all -- ever.

Spent maybe 4 hours trying to get this to work. The manual was just the worst we've ever seen; completely indecipherable and useless. That made it even harder to figure out that the unit wasn't working properly because you wondered if you'd missed some key step.

Low quality product. Stay away.



1 out of 5 stars Freezes up often   November 23, 2008
I have had this machine since Sept 07. It recorded a VHS to DVD easily enough, but in the last 6 months, I can not depend on it to even turn on! Some times, I have to unplug it for 10 seconds to re-set it, or some times I have to click play on the VCR or DVD to get it to even turn on. It will no longer turn on at the unit or with the remote. It just isn't dependable. Am looking for a different brand now.
