More frustration than it is worth
Pros
Panasonic customer support is friendly and sent me a software upgrade CD at no charge.
Cons
Recorder is to tempermental to be useful.
Recommended it?
No
I bought this unit just to record DVD's from my old VHS tape library. It has a digital tuner which is of no use to me as I have satellite service. The memory card slots and other functions are of no use to me. I have found it is not intuitive to operate and the manual is not clearly written. The unit has problems with DVD-R discs and is very frustrating to record with. The unit looks nice - when you can get Panisonic support on the phone they seem to be helpful - they have sent me software upgrades at no charge
The technician also told me I have to use individually packaged DVD-R discs. The bulk spindled discs don't work usually he said. I have found the unit doesn't recognize the majority of any DVD-R discs. I can only get reliable recordings using more expensive DVD-RW discs.
