Pros: Records onto hard drive and, if you are lucky and it lasts, onto DVD-R!

| sibie's Full Review: Panasonic DMR-HS2 (40 GB) DVD Recorder |
I have to keep this review to 199 words, so bare with me.
The quality of the recording is nowhere near DVD quality, especially if recording down from the Hard Disc drive onto DVD-R. Quality decreases considerably depending on recording mode.
The issue I am encountering at the moment is that the recorder will not record onto disc at all. It displays an error message, says BYE and shuts down. This machine barely made it to one year!
UPDATE: After much ado, Panasonic says they will repair the unit at no cost to me. It makes me wonder, since the warranty expired two months ago, the reason behind this. Although I am obviously thrilled, I wonder if they are having other issues with this model. I will make a last update when the machine is back in my hands and functioning well.
