Title: Good Spec's poor quality
Product review: I have had two of these units. The first unit I took back to the store within 30 days to get a new one. The second one is not much better. The unit regularly locks up or powers down and can be a very frustrating experience when converting a large library of VHS to DVD. I've tried using DVD-RW or DVD+RW disks but it makes no difference in the performance of the unit. I was hoping DVD+RW would cause the unit to behave better because it is a far superior specification to DVD-RW. The unit is spec'd to play DivX movies too, but I have yet to get the unit to play one. I have flashed the unit with the latest firmware from Panasonic but I see no difference in performance. I suspect the firmware code is poorly written and little to no QA was performed on the unit.I am very disappointed in Panasonic's flag ship DVD recorder.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
