| emelto_dt3000's Full Review: Panasonic DMR-HS2 (40 GB) DVD Recorder |
This unit lives up to its claims. Picture quality at XP and SP is superior to TIVO. Recording from auxiliary sources improves picture quality a fair amount.
Maxell and TDK dvd-r disks and Imation and Panasonic DVD-RAM disk work well.
My only disappointment is that DVD-R's do not look very good played on my (fairly new) Toshiba 4800 and 4yr old Sony DVD players. The dvd-r's are wonderful when played back on the DMR-HS2. On the other players, contrast and brightness are way too high and colors are blah and somewhat yellowish, requiring adjusting tv conrols a lot to make them watchable-not what I expected.
Timer recording of multiple channel programs is possible from Satellite/DirecTv, but requires you to program the satellite reciever and DMR-HS2 separately to synchronize when they are to come on, change channel and go off.
Overall, I am pleased with the unit. But, I wish that the DVD-R's looked as good on other DVD players. At least, they will play without problems.
