Title: Not user friendly and lasts less than two years
Product review: I bought this DVD recorder thinking I'd get a lot of use out of it and, hopefully, many years of use. I was wrong. I'm about to throw this into the garbage because, after a year and eight months, it shows a 'U99' error message on the machine. I called the service center and Joe talked me through some steps such as turning it off/on, unplugging it, pressing on this and that button for some period of time, only to be told that I would need to mail in this product to the service center to have it fixed for more amount of money than it cost me to buy. The warranty is only a year. I advise anyone against buying this product and brand. It worries me that Panasonic can make such a disposable product. I expected this to last about four years...definitely not less than two. This product is not worth the money.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
