Title: Couldnt make it go for long
Review: Hookup was a breeze.. I used a Cable splitter so I could bypass the unit when watching TV - My Sony TV has a better tuner.The unit played well with a fantastic picture with both VHS and a phenominal DVD image.. near HD on my regual set.It recorded well with only a slight loss in quality to bot DVD and VHS.The manual was a little confusing since there is So Much gadgetry this thing can do..I sat down to read it until I understood what it said FIRST, before getting frustrated.Once I had that down it's a very sweet unit for the price.HOWEVER, and thats a big HOWEVER - First try at transferring vhs to DVD TOASTED the laser and I had to return it for exchange.It was very nice of Panasonic to put in a error message that said" U61(power interupted) Self check failed, refer to service"Thats the best thing when a unit quits..a message that states don't even bother to fiddle with it.
