Title: crapped out after 5 months
Product review: After 5 months this unit has started giving me errors on blank DVDs after I record 1 track, which effectively means it doesn't work anymore.This is the second Panasonic DVD recorder I've owned. This first was the DMR E75V, which I bought about 3 years ago. Both of these units had good quality in the 4 hour mode - when they worked. It crapped out after 3 years and hundreds of discs, but was never 100%. It occasionally failed when finalizing the disc - about 5% of the time. It ultimately would not recognize the disc as the proper format, even though it was the proper disc. On the E75V Many of the discs I recorded from the 75 hung up also, maybe another 3%.So, it's Deja VU all over again. I'd hoped they would have improved on the design over the past 3 years, and because of the good recording quality, I decided to try it again. I got burned. I guess I'll try another manufacturer this time.
