Panasonic E30 DVD Recorder

<TABLE width=500 border=1 cellPadding=2 cellSpacing=0 bordercolor=#CCCCCC>



FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Well when I took this unit out of the box my first thoughts were it was stylish but quite big (this is compared to my dvd players Mustek 520, 560) it has a fan built onto the back which keeps the unit cool.

The remote is quite big compared to most other remotes but it has to be considering the amount of functions it has on it.

EASE OF USE:
Well the manul for this is quite thick and explains all the features and gives step by step instructions for each function. However I did not receive a manual with this as it was a Test machine (I downloaded and printed the DMR20 manual which works in almost the same way) you can setup automatic recording of programs by the touch of a button and it also supports Video+ programming.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS:
After testing this unit for one week I found it easy to record from vhs – dvd-r as long as you have a macro vision cable to disable macro vision, I could not get my dvd players to allow me to record to this machine as I don’t have a macro vision cable that is capable of removing the different types needed to be disabled, however It was easy to tape from analogue cable and the editing functions that are present allows the removal of adverts with ease.

MEDIA COMPATIBILITY:
I Tested the following brands

WORK:
Datasafe Classic 1x (100%)
Datasafe Ritek (50%)
Whitelabel 1X (75%)
E-Performance (100%)

DON'T WORK:
Whitelabel DVDRW (as this unit dosent record to dvd-rw these didn’t work)

These are my finding only and I take no responsibility if you buy hundreds of one brand and have not a lot of sucsess with them please buy samples and try to see what works best for you.
