Panasonic DMR-ES35V DVD-/VHS-Recorder

Pro: Played and recorded acceptably.

Contra: Didn't do so for all that long.

Beurteilung: I purchased this Panasonic DMR-ES35V new (unlike some of my other DVD/VCR's). Unlike the units I purchased used, this one has problems.

It tuned fine (no longer relevant because the tuner is analog) and plays with adequate quality. It...

Pro: It works well VCR has a jet rewind feature comes with a DVD-RAM disc )

Contra: Steep learning curve. Manual problems, misprint, no table of contents and poor index.

Fazit: After reading some of the horror stories about this technology, I did alot of research to make sure Igota quality recorder.I am very happy with my choice.

Beurteilung: I purchased a DMR-ES35V after much research on DVD/VHS burners. The best review I read was on this sight by BG357.

I wanted to thank him for all the information he provided and let anyone else interested in this unit know about my...

Pro: Nice feature set overall.

Contra: Video quality blurry; bad closed captions. Software does not Stop, Eject, or Power Off reliably.

Beurteilung: First unit had software problems where it would not respond, or would respond incredibly slowly, to button commands from either the front panel or the remote. Took over a minute to eject a tape or DVD. Returned. Second unit had bad DVD deck, could...

Pro: Haven't found any yet.

Contra: See above.

Beurteilung: Hi,

This has happenned to me. My wife was on a local TV morning show demonstrating a recipe. She taped it onto a VHS tape. I then queued up the tape to the part where her demonstration began. I hit play, then the VHS-DVD dubbing arrow on...

Pro: Good copy quality, copies to almost every DVD media type/speed

Contra: Requires +R DVD "Format" before use. Cannot play AVI files.

Fazit: Good unit with very good picture and sound

Beurteilung: I used an earlier version of the Panasonic while visiting my parents (30?), and a friend of mine had the same one and got stellar results.

Since I had a stack of tapes I wanted to transfer, I bought the ES35V. Also, I figured that VHS...

Pro: Great picture quality when it worked.

Contra: Short life, not worth the money.

Beurteilung: This unit worked great while it was under warranty. Great picture quality, fairly easy to use, and did everything that we bought it for. One month after the warranty expired, the unit stopped reading discs. The customer support person was of very...

Pro: good while it lasted

Contra: might as well spend more for better quality

Beurteilung: After finally becoming familiar with the operation of the unit, I enjoyed about 4 months of use when the DVD player started having difficulty reading discs, even those which I had previously played with no problem. The unit has to be turned on and...

Pro: Looks nice, I need VCR DVD, Panasonic reliability history

Contra: Nothing worked, I returned it

Fazit: This is new: Panasonic quality and reliability are poor

Beurteilung: DVD nor VCR doesn t work
I bought a Panasonic DMR-ES35VS combination VCR and DVD recorder, because I have bought many Panasonic items before (I really like their still cameras and video cameras). The VCR could play and record videos, and the...

Pro: All the features I was looking for in one unit

Contra: None of them work properly

Beurteilung: Within the first year, the VCR broke and was repaired under warranty. About a year later (now out of warranty), the DVD player stopped working. It won't read DVD's at all anymore; it doesn't even know whether a DVD is inserted (complains about bad...

Pro: A good idea, easy copying of VHS to DVD

Contra: Generally user-unfriendly, croaked after six months.

Beurteilung: This device was nice for copying VHS tapes to DVD, but otherwise it was quite nonintuitive to use. I say "was" because it died on me six months after I purchased it. Kaput. I will try to get it serviced but I am not optimistic.
