Panasonic DMR-ES45VS DVD Recorder / VCR Combo

The Panasonic DMR-ES45 gives you the ability to enjoy older and newer media formats without taking up precious space in your home entertainment setup. You've probably got plenty of great stuff on VHS tapes, from your favorite films to home recordings. Instead of taking up room with a VCR and a DVD player, you need a single unit that plays both. That's where the DMR-ES45 comes in. Taking what worked well in previous models and improving them, it also includes features that make everyday DVD recording simpler than ever. The HDAVI-Control allows you to control multiple components without the mess of wires and remotes that you'd normally face. While enjoying your favorite VHS movies and recording to tape, you can also record & play back DVD-Audio & Video, CD audio, CD-DA and MP3/JPEG discs. You can even load up an SD card and preview your Digital photos and video on a larger screen.

Recommended it? No

From the first week (early November 2006) this unit randomly shut itself down - sometimes it happened twice a day and sometimes it would go for weeks. The first tech told us that he never heard of that problem. The manual is very confusing so we thought we might be pressing the wrong buttons. When... Read full review »
