Customer Review: Returned 3 units under warranty in one month - now on number 4
The 3 returned units either did not record on a DVD+R or did not play a VCR properly: the VCR picture kept breaking up. The unit I have now seems to work. However I cannot recommend this model for obvious reasons.
Customer Review: Promises more than it delivers
I bought this unit when my AIWA VCR died. I want to be able to transfer mini-DV to DVD, record onto DVD from TV and play my video collection. First off, the VCR playback quality is surprisingly poor. I just wouldn’t use this unit to transfer a video to DVD - you might as well just buy the DVD second-hand. Also, the picture you see with video playback is the digitised image, so you get the combination of video distortion with digital distortion. I have also experienced the poor auto-tracking that the other user mentioned. So, this part is a major disappointment. DVD recording from TV seems to be fine. However, one annoying thing is that it gives you multiple recording quality options, but doesn’t tell you how much time you can record for using a particular quality. So you end up guessing. Secondly, when I record onto DVD-RW, I can’t fast-forward or backward with the picture, sound or even timer. You just have to guess when to press play and see where it drops you back. Haven’t yet tried transferring from mini-DV. In summary, I’m a bit disappointed by this unit. I’m seriously considering buying a second-hand VCR to watch my videos on, which kind of defeats the object of buying it in the first place.

Panasonic DMR-ES20DEBS DVD RAM Disc Recorder
Used Price: ?74.49
Customer Review: 6 months then bang
I purchased the Panasonic recorder because it had good reviews and also did all the things I wanted - play DVDs’ ,record plus freeview all in one neat box. But all I had is trouble. From the start the machine would not keep any preferences when it is turned off, so it has to remain on all the time unless the machine decided to turn it self off - for a self check - which it does, often. Now 7 months since purchase it no longer records or plays any disk! DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE - YOU WILL WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Customer Review: Clever but complicated
This is a very clever machine with all these recording options but it takes a while to understand how to do things. I don’t find the remote or the menus very intuitive and had to read the manual several times to find out how to do things. Panasonic’s bumph convinced me that RAM disks were a great idea so I bought loads but then found out they don’t work in other DVD players! Am I expecting too much? If Apple can make computers easy to use why can’t someone make DVD recorders easy to use? Still it works fine and it’s great to have Freeview built in.

Pioneer DV600AV MultiRegion DVD Player - Silver (2 years warranty). Packaged with 1m HDMI Lead
Customer Review: Why have separate SACD & DVD Audio players ?
I’ve owned this DVD player for a couple of months and I am still astounded by how many functions it does. It’s almost as if Pioneer can sense the end of the standard DVD player (for replacement by HDDVD or BluRay) and have thrown everything into it. For a start off there is the HDMI upscaling socket, an essential connection for those of us getting HD Ready flat screens. Sure the picture through such a connection isn’t as good as HDDVD/BluRay but is a massive improvement from Scart connection. But if it’s just a HDMI multi-region player you’re after then you can get cheaper than this. What swung me in favour of this player is not only DVD-Audio playback but also SACD playback in the same player. You’ll need an amp with 6-channel analogue input for connection from the 6 analogue outputs on the player. But boy does this player sound great once connected. There are so many menu options for set-up e.g. Speaker Size, Distance From Listener This might make it sound difficult to set up but it’s not. I’m just saying that there are plenty of options to tweak with to get that optimum sound and picture. That’s without mentioning that there is a USB socket on the front so you can listen to downloaded mp3 files. And the whole thing is packaged into a slimline player that won’t hog up your shelf space. For the price you’re getting an absolute bargain and this particular one is multi-region so should play anything.
