I bought this unit to replace an identical one I bought retain over 10 years ago. I used it heavily to make permanent copies of old TV shows I had recorded on my cable-box DVR. I also used it to double as a secondary DVD player. It always worked very well. The only characteristic I wish were different is not a fault. When I wanted to make permanent copies of movies I had DVR'ed, it would not burn them onto a DVD because of the copy protection software built in. I would not have bought this one if the previous one I had hadn't been so good. The original somehow got the audio circuitry fried by a power surge. These are pretty old now, and will probably difficult to re-replace. I put the newly purchased one on an APC uninterruptible power source replete with lots of surge protection.
It works great except when recording from a Sony Video 8 camcorder. When using the Sony as the source you will get a copywrite protected error. Everything else is superb. I recorded from VHS tapes and programs fine.

I own 2 Panasonic DVR's. Since Panasonic doesn't support them anymore I bought this product for spare parts only such as the dvd tray, laser, capacitors, fan, and other components that might fail on my own dvr's.
