Performance

Panasonic DMR-ES10

Relatively inexpensive; excellent recording quality; chasing playback and quick-start recordings with DVD-RAM discs; easy-to-use menus; flexible recording mode.

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

Panasonic's entry-level DMR-ES10 DVD recorder offers excellent recording quality but falls short when it comes to editing features.

I WILL NOT BUY A PANASONIC PRODUCT EVER AGAIN

Initially, I was really impressed with the product. I thought the editing features were simple yet effective. However, the player stopped working after a year and a half. It went into a continual "self check" loop and then completely stopped. I wrote ...

Seemed great at first ; Excellent recording and editing facilities

Reliability of a chocolate teapot ; Lousy customer service ; Did I mention the crappy reliability

PANASONIC DMR-ES10 DVD RECORDER

I bought this unit about six months ago, as a refurb on Ebay. After consulting Epinions, it seemed that Panasonic DVD recorders were among the best. This is my first DVD recorder, and let me tell you I am impressed. It is heavy, and seems very well ...

Not bad for a first DVD recorder.

DVD-RAM capability, three inputs, reliable.

Remote ergonomics, somewhat sluggish interface, sparse button layout on front of machine.

Not bad for a first DVD recorder.

I had the ES10 since December of 2005 and have not had a problem with it. The recorder is used daily for timer recordings, backing up some of the favorite videotapes, and interestingly enough - as a music player, which is underused in many applications...
