Negative Positive
Title: Poor longevity
Review: I've had this recorder for several years. It has performed well during that time, however, it has suddenly stopped responding to the remote. I replaced the batteries on the remote several times with no results. I bought a universal remote and managed to get every piece of electronics I own to respond to it except this one. This thing cannot perform the majority of its functions without the remote. I can't even select the second chapter of a DVD without the remote, so even playback options are severely compromised. I'm being told that I have to ship the item to Texas to be repaired as it is outside its warranty period. How convenient for me. If I liked Panasonic before, I like them a lot less now.
Is the review positive or negative?
