Review on 📼 Panasonic DMR-ES45VS DVD Recorder / VCR Combo: HDMI, SD Card, and DV Input – All-in-One Video Recording Device by Joseph Stone

Plays both VHS and DVD. I can copy videocassettes to DVD (which was my main reason for buying the device). I haven't tried ripping TV shows straight to DVD before, and I haven't had a chance to try other features. User Manual TERRIBLE! The instructions for ripping and burning DVDs, setting up TV channels, etc. are very complicated and I'm technically minded. The connection to the cable box as shown in the manual is also wrong because the cable is connected directly. into the VCR/DVD box, where it should actually go into the cable box. I realized this was wrong when there was a problem with the HBO stations and the cable company told me it was a bad connection. (Everything else on the TV worked fine.) Panasonic should rewrite this manual for the DMR-ES35VS DVD recorder as it's probably a very good unit, but because it's so complicated most people will probably never get all the great ones Appreciate the features it offers. because they will not understand how to get there!
