    I bought the Panasonic DMR-E80H for $550 in 2004. I had it in the repair shop three times under warranty. The hard drive has been replaced, as well as the transport system. Now, after it warms up, everything freezes. This is a piece of junk. I've had a lot of systems and this one is at the bottom of the barrel. It's going in the trash. I just ordered the Pioneer DVR-640H-S, which has more features and has everyone raving in the reviews. Stay away from Panasonic...

    Does any one know how to connect the Panasonic DMT-E80H DVD recorder to a VHR so that you can record? I have just decided to put all of my VHS tapes on disk and completely get rid of them and the VHS unit. I have connected it so that I can view them, but they won't record any information. Any help would be appreciated. Please could you leave a comment if you can help? Thanks.

    The Panasonic DMR-E80H Hard Drive recorder is very easy to use and wonderfully versatile after a VCR. The time slip function is indispensable as are many of the other features.

    I would agree that this Panasonic DVD recorder is quite buggy out-of-box. HOWEVER, since I updated the device's firmware, available off of Panasonic's web site, I have been extremely pleased with my purchase of this *refurbished* DVD recorder.
    Although I consider myself fairly savvy using the PC, I value the convenience this machine has to offer when it comes to recording shows and dumping them to DVD. There were a couple of times I had to refer to the manual, but overall I have found the m ...

    I have owned the Panasonic DMR-E80H for a little over a year and have had nothing but problems with it. The hard drive quit working months ago and even reformatting it didn't help. So now it's basically just an in-line recorder to dub VHS tapes to DVDs and even that doesn't work well. Constant errors making the DVD-R's useless. Don't buy this product, horrible service and vastly over priced.

    I have had the Panasonic DMR-E80H for a few weeks now and have already got to the point where I could not live with out it. I have had DVD players for a 4 or 5 years now, so all my movies are on disk. My VCR has been redundant for the last few years and I can't even remember the last time that I bought a tape. But this led to an expensive problem. When there was a show on TV that I really wnated to see or keep, I could never find a tape and as I was used to DVD quality figured there wasn't much ...

    I've been an owner of the DMR-E80H for seven months. As of the time of this writing, the deck is in the shop for the DVD drive portion. (DVDs don't 'track up'). The deck has been in the shop for over two weeks, waiting on a part.
    The repair is evidentally under warranty, but I suspect Panasonic will not pay me for the hassle of getting the thing fixed.
    Comments on the performance of the deck (while it was working):
    The hard disk is a great feature. At a SP speed, one can record around 40 ...

    My brother has owned a Panasonic DMR-E80H for 6 months, and he is a fussy guy, who always complains, about every item he purchases. He LOVES, litteraly this machine, and he gives it a 10, without any reservation.

    I bought this Panasonic DMR-E80H DVD Recorder in good faith thinking the operation manual will take into consideration its uses as described (recorder). I've called Panasonic several times to ask if they could send me a diagram on how to set it up with my equiptment and they told me they couldn't help me!!! If anyone out there can help me please feel free to contact me by e-mail.
