Rating: - * satisfied user after 2 years ... Panasonic DVD Recorder DMR-ES40V; I have not had any problem with this model since I purchased it more than two years ago. VHS tapes and CD's are easy to use. As is their recording. Rating: - * Broken in only 2 months! ... It was easy to set up, but wasn't worth the effort. The DVDs got stuck and the VHS stopped working altogether - after only 2 months.
