Good Points: Easy to use.
Bad Points: Stopped working after 18 months. Had it repaired with new part that lasted 6 months and broke again. Rubbish!
General comments: Not worth the money, Spoke to repair centre who now will not stock Panasonic DVD Recorders.

I have owned this unit for just over a year now, and to be honest, I was rather pleased with it at first. It was one of the few recorders on the market that had Freeview built in and played most DVD formats. However, over time I feel like I have been sold a lemon. There are loads of niggles with the menu system, the remote is frankly bargain basement, and the damn thing just keeps going wrong. Plus, you can record MP3s onto CD and play them, but not DVDs.

The Panasonic DMR-ES20 is an excellent recorder. Provides good recordings and play back.

Having watched a DVD and after recording something, I don't have many complaints yet. It is easy to use, easy to set up with the opportunity to record from Freeview directly are all bonuses.

I am a pretty tough customer when it comes to all the aspects of electronics gear, but Panasonic has built a high quality and well thought out design with the DMR-ES20 DVD Recorder. I use DVD-R blanks (4x-8x) and pause the recording during commercials, and I love the instant transitions when playing back my favorite program or music video. I scheduled a 5 hour recording using the FR mode, which maximizes the quality for the given time period you want to record. I love it!
