Relatively inexpensive; excellent recording quality; chasing playback and quick-start recordings with DVD-RAM discs; easy-to-use menus; Flexible Recording mode; DV input for easy camcorder dubbing.

Inability to create chapter stops on +R/-R/-RW discs; no IR blaster for timed recordings.

Panasonic's entry-level DMR-ES20 DVD recorder offers excellent recording quality and easy camcorder dubbing, but its editing features fall short.

I have made recordings through the scheduler and manually on this unit several times, and about half the time recording stops part way through, even when I use manual recording...or it won't finalize or even play the disc after recording. I missed the...

Works good when it works, but you can never be sure when that will be

Very unreliable recording...sometimes just ceases to function all together and I have to unplug the unit from the wall to reset it

I have to say that the editor review is incorrect about the automatic chapters. I have this same exact recorder and the thing I love about it is the automatic chapter input. I think when they tested this machine they never actualy finalized a disc, if...

Like I said this is a nice recorder BUT also like I said the earlier DST change makes recording a pain. The clock just changes whenever it wants.

Very easy to and better then a VCR

Ever since the eariler DST change the clock falls behind by an hour and there is no update for this on Panasonic's website

I bought this as a secondary DVD recorder to my JVC. Mainly because it was pretty cheap. It does what I need it to do, and for the price, I can't complain.

Price, records

Slow load time, takes about 2 sec to start recording, no chapters option

I had this machine for only a year and it has broken down more than 2 times. I really regret that I bought this machine!

Works for a few days

Break down so quickly
