Panasonic DMR-ES10 DVD-Recorder

Pro: Records on DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R. Plays just about any format you can think of.

Contra: No Digital audio INPUTS. (But not sure if any units have this.)

Fazit: Excellent convenience and features. But most importantly top quality picture/ sound quality.

Beurteilung: I wanted this unit to help me transfer my old camcorder tapes to DVD and also replace my VCR. I didn't go with a Hard Drive Unit as I will probably be adding an HD PVR to my set up soon and thus felt it would be redundant in the future.

I...

Pro: Good price, good overall performance

Contra: Slow to type in titles

Beurteilung: Bought this to permanently save recordings from the DVR onto DVD. Have not have a problem with it and has been performing very well. It is easy to use and does a good job recording.

Pro: Seemed great at first.
Excellent recording and editing facilities.

Contra: Reliability of a chocolate teapot
Lousy customer service
Did I mention the crappy reliability?

Fazit: Do not buy this (in fact any Panasonic DVD recorder). It will let you down. Best off buying something more reliable with better customer service.

Beurteilung: Initially, I was really impressed with the product. I thought the editing features were simple yet effective. However, the player stopped working after a year and a half. It went into a continual "self check" loop and then completely stopped. I...

Pro: Progressive scan. S-Video input.

Contra: Can't edit chapter titles, on-screen display is minimal, menus difficult to navigate.

Beurteilung: I was surprised to find the unit does not allow for editing chapter titles. You can name the entire disk, but not each chapter. Lesser priced machines allow you to do this and can't understand why Panasonic did not enable such a basic feature on the...

Pro: Almost continuing recording,RAM out of limits!! selfcheck to save many problems,pretty design,good windows

Contra: No zoom,no RW record,the main units lacks buttoms like FF, RW,PAUSE& more,no USB

Beurteilung: I was so scared with Panasonic,its VHS were falling down
so noisely,but i needed a DVDR to perform RAM,but it works so good,of course EP is so low,maybe it needed more OTR
4 hours is not enough,ZOOM any player carries this trick,
a...

Pro: High quality video and sound. Reliable

Contra: Slow loading of new disks. It takes time to determine the type.

Beurteilung: I have owned this recorder for 6 months. It is my first DVD recorder. It was purchased with nervousness after a careful study of Internet reviews revealed many complaints about other DVD machines. It has performed flawlessly, recording shows off...

Pro: Durability, Features, Multi Format Recording

Contra: Lacks Zoom Button on Remote Control

Fazit: A great value if you can find a refurb or new one.

Beurteilung: I bought this unit about six months ago, as a refurb on Ebay.
After consulting Epinions, it seemed that Panasonic DVD recorders were
among the best. This is my first DVD recorder, and let me tell you I
am impressed.
It is heavy,...

Pro: Easy to use, sleek look, plays all formats.

Contra: Doesn't record DVD+RW.

Beurteilung: This is a great recorder. But take the time to read the manual! We had some frustration because the auto channel set only goes to 125, when all of our good channels are in the 200s. After some fussing, we realized you can set the TV on whatever...

Pro: When it worked, it was great. The DVD-RAM time slip feature was nice.

Contra: Recorder stopped working after 2 years.

Beurteilung: I owned this for 2 years. I moved it downstairs to a different TV and it no longer records. Get it fixed? Sure, for $140. You can buy a new one for that. Call me picky, but I think electronics should last longer than 2 years. Thumbs down!

Pro: Versatility, quality, a great replacement for a VCR, high quality recordings.

Contra: Errors with cheap DVD-R discs.

Beurteilung: This unit was purchased to archive years of VHS tapes and to replace a VCR. I am 99% satisfied with my purchase. This is an awesome DVR for the price. I have copied about 150 hours worth of science shows which were originally recorded from satellite...
