Pros XP and SP recording rivals store bought DVD quality.
Cons Editing capability could be improved.Remote control could be designed better.
Recommended it? No

I bought this unit, and it lasted 1 month before the cooling fan went out. After the store manager and I opened 3 other NEW identical units , we found all of them had a defective cooling fan. I upgraded to the E80H. Make sure you get the replacement warranty, as this unit seems to have a cooling... Read full review »

It's ok, but I returned it.

Pros Easier to find certain scenes, compared to using video tape.
Cons Picture quality and editing features not up to expectations.
Recommended it? No

I thought I'd get something to replace my old s-vhs machine, so I could enjoy the same or better picture quality, plus more flexible editing. I paid $800 Canadian, which is about $575 US.
However, for starters, the picture quality was not as good as my s-vhs machine. The picture quality was... Read full review »

Pros Excellent Picture Quality.
Cons Only one Output. Some Recorded DVDs won't play in some DVD players.
Recommended it? Yes

Excellent picture quality. It is easy to use & editing is a breeze. Transfer your home video tapes or TV shows to DVD. An excellent product at a very affordable price. The manual could be a little more detailed and clear, but the overall learning process is easy and fun! Plenty of inputs, but it... Read full review »

Pros Great picture stability. Playlist is good for basic video editing (with average accuracy)
Cons A few engineering errors. "Recover mode" lockup. Counter/timer display not in...
Recommended it? Yes

Well, the E50 is a great DVD recorder and worth the price. I bought two of them for professional video editing and have found some problems that look like Panasonic just got in a hurry on their engineering at the last minute.
The first thing is a nasty problem that you will run across if you... Read full review »

Pros Reasonable price. Progressive scan. VCRplus+
Cons Puzzling remote control. DVD-R discs don't play in my older DVD player.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been planning on transferring some programs from my TiVo to DVDs, and permanentizing our wedding from the VCR tape my brother-in-law recorded, as well as some other VCR tapes I've accumulated.

With the prices on DVD recorders starting to fall (shades of when VCRs first came out!),... Read full review »

Pros Good quality video/sound output
Cons Cannot play recorded DVD in regular DVD player
Recommended it? Yes

If you are planning on sharing your recorded DVD disc's with others, this isn't your toy. Playback can only be on a similar DMR unit. This is the biggest downside I've found with this unit. Recording capabilities are very extensive and once you gain your Master's Degree in Engineering, then you can... Read full review »
