| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Extremely Disappointed
After having owned this for just over a year, the unit rejects nearly 3 quarters of all my Dvd discs due to the proverbial 'cannot read disc' error. I tried recording several vhs tapes to various dvd media without any success. This may simply be an isolated problem, but nonetheless, my previous combos (other than panasonic) lasted years longer, under rigorous use. I'm currently shopping for a new brand because it would
be cheaper than repair. Fair or not, I cannot recommend panasonic.. in fact, I'll actually enjoy tossing this one. | 1 | Today | Rocket Scientist
I have had this over 2 years and still can not make out most of the directions which are very confusing. Nothing is strait foreword always referring to another page instead of continuing the sentence. The recorder is good and I am not knocking it only the directions. I remember reading in an earlier review that this was a problem. Customer support is good.5 stars the recorder is good. | 5 | Today | More things than I really need...
This unit might be able to make a Mar's trip....far more flexibility than I need but it is there for the taking....the performance is excellent and surprisingly it plays most of the newer tapes so well they are hard to tell from a CD....sometimes impossible to tell the difference....dubbing is easy enough and provides good viewing of the dubbed item..............buy this again? Yes I would...... | 5 | Today | Great VCR DVD player and burner
I've had this machine for over a year and have had no problems with it. Once you get used to the process for dubbing from vhs to dvd it is easier to use. I've burned many dvds and have only had trouble with a couple the machine was unable to read to be able to record on. Thanks to other reviews I've read I always finalize the dvds so they can be viewed on other machines with no problem. I would buy this unit again. | 5 | Today | Strong for 6 months
I have had this unit for approximately a year now. For the first 6 mnths it worked fine. After that time period we would be watching a dvd movie and half way through the picture will go black, but you could still here the sound. If we rebooted the system, and jump scenes to where the trouble began, it would generally resume and work fine. Over the past couple of months this occurs 3 to 4 times each movie. When we finally get too frustrated and take the same disk to the back of the house and put it in our cheapo GE player...it plays fine. I would not waste my money on this product. | 1 | Today | Customer Service Lacking !!!
Unit # 1 functioned briefly, returned for replacement . Amazon service excellent.
Unit #2..functioned 4 months then deteriorated in both VHS and DVD circuits . Repeatedly tried on-line service with Panasonic with no response . Provided S/N a number of times; Panasonic continued to re-request it . Tried phone service..NEVER- got to a human voice . Waits 45 " . Located Panasonic service in Charlotte ; returned unit twice before successful operation . They claim bad quality parts from Panasonic .
Basic problem : when playing back a dubbed RAM disk , unit would stop and reverse at 2min. 52 sec playback time . No one had a technical explanation for this ! "Fixed" it by reversing all dubbed disks to 00, then playing . Local technician says, "something's wrong" but still no real solution .
I have been faithful Panasonic customer for 30 years and this is the worst ever. Very,very disapointed . I won't hold by breath awaiting a call from Panasonic Customer Service...but am apprehensive how long the unit will operate . | 2 | Today | Transfer from VHS to DVD With Confidence
This product does for me what it was intended to do. It easily makes DVD's from old videotapes. Pretty much you put a recorded tape in, a blank DVD in, and you press "DUB." It's that simple. The only trick is to remember to finalize the discs, and this does take a little investigating through a somewhat confusing manual in order to do so. Once done, I'm sure they will play on most machines. I have yet to have a problem playing the DVD's on either of my two computers or my tv. I am using Memorex 16X DVD-R discs. In order to use 16X discs, you have to go to the Panasonic website to download a firmware upgrade for the machine(easy to do).
The VCR and DVD play smoothly and work quickly. I have owned Sharp, Magnavox and JVC, and the Panasonic easily outdoes any of them in the quality department.
The only minus is the inability to create thumbnail chapters on the DVDs when using a DVD-R disc. You can skip 5 minutes up to the next "chapter," but you won't find that chapter in a thumbnail.
Overall, for the price, it is hands-down a good recorder. For what you pay someone else to do, you can have your recorded discs AND the machine that recorded them. | 5 | Today | I OWN THIS UNIT.I GOT THE REFURBISHED VERSION SINCE THIS MODEL WAS DISCONTINUED
I CANNOT SAY MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THE OTHER REVIEWERS SAID.MY UNIT HAS ONLY ONE TV TUNER.THERE MUST BE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS UNIT.MAY I SUGGEST YOU CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A GOOD SURGE PROTECTER.A LOT OF THE NEGITIVE ISSUES MIGHT BE CAUSED BY POWER SURGES.THIS APPLIES TO ALL SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTERS. 4 STAR RATING | 4 | Today | This DVD Recorder Destroys 30% of Your DVDs!
After reading an earlier review of this machine, I had to write. I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I've burned about 60 DVDs and for those DVDs that have not been completed (finalized) at least one-third end up being DESTROYED by the machine!! I've lost episodes of TV series, my home movies that I converted (luckily I have saved the original tapes), and priceless events that I wanted to record (like the Olympics). It is VERY frustrating to spend HOURS on recording the DVDs and then go to finalize them (burn them so they can be played in other machines) and have ERROR pop up or UNREADABLE or CAN'T BE PLAYED. I wrote to Panasonic to see what the problem might be and all I got was a computer response as to where I could buy accessories.
This is very disappointing for a company like Panasonic. They clearly have a bug in certain of these machines and their poor customer service is genuinely disappointing. | 1 | Today | Stands above all other brands except Pioneer
Have recorded literally hundreds of discs from every quality of tape imaginable, from SP, LP & EP(SLP)modes, and obviously recorded from every brand of VCR imagineable, still runs like a charm. This is used in our business where we transfer all formats of tapes to DVD. This machine will also transfer homemade DVD's to VHS, an uncommon request - more of a learning process, but once you get it, you've got it! Panasonic has the unique flextime mode which allows you to set the exact amount of time for the DVD to record to match the source tape. Our other DVD recorders are a Sharp (consumer) which does well, an ultra expensive Pioneer professional, but older technology (one of the first) and ANOTHER Panasonic which burns U.S. NTSC discs and foreign PAL discs. The Panasonic reliability is unparalleled for the consumer. Only the Pioneer professional series could outdo Panasonic. Tried a Go-Video at one time, total nightmare! Was burning errors to the discs no matter what brand of disc. | 5 | Today |
