Excellent Paperweight:
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... more info
Horrible:
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.

After 9 months...kaput:
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... more info
