- A couple of "lock-ups" in 2 years of ownership, otherwise great
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 ... Read More

- Junk out of the Box
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. ... Read More

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.

It would be setup and not record anything. Also, the unit froze completely when I was just pulling up the navigation menu. It is very erratic, you might go one week and it be fine and then the next it would lock up several times. Then I started having problems with the digital tuning(if you are using this on cable, ...

Does pretty much what I wanted.One problem........no controls on the machine.So, if you lose your controller, you're SOL.
