Panasonic DMR-ES35V DVD-/VHS-Recorder

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 little help. Her solution was to send me a disc that will upgrade the software. (And I can read this disc how? I just told her my machine won't read discs...) The exact thing happened with our other Panasonic DVD recorder. Luckily this one broke after only 2 weeks, so we took it back to the store. Save your money and buy any other brand besides Panasonic.
