Title: If you're converting VHS to DVD, you better work fast
Review: ...because the lifespan of this unit is amazingly short. Plays DVDs and VHS tapes fine and recording (and copying) is fairly easy. Still, it was less than a year before I got an error code on the front panel. I had to send the unit to Panasonic for a $130 flat-rate repair (they replaced the DVD drive, which I found was a pretty common issue with this model). It worked fine for another few months, and now I have an F03 code. Don't know what it is* and don't care; I've had it with this thing. I really need to get my VHS tapes converted over and then I can be finished with this whole fiasco. Until, that is, I have to convert my DVDs to Blu-ray, and then Blu-ray to holocube, and then holocube to brain chip...*Evidently F03 is the code for "Imperial Stormtroopers in the VHS slot." Easy fix, but still.
