Amazon.com Product Description

Early Adopters Pick: May 2003. This is the first DVD player with a built-in hard drive recorder, allowing you to record all your favorite shows onto digital disk as well as watch DVDs.

Talk about "all in one"--the Panasonic DMR-E80HS not only records DVDs and stores more than 100 hours of audio/video programming on its built-in memory; it's also a progressive-scan DVD player (for use with high-definition or HD-ready TVs) that also handles your DVDs, CDs, and MP3 recordable discs. With the DMR-E80HS's 80 GB hard drive, it provides up to 104 hours of recording time, plus up to 6 hours on a removable 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc (in Extended Play mode in each case). The DMR-E80HS offers the flexibility of recording on both DVD-RAM--perfect for instant chapter access and for multiple rerecordings--as well as DVD-R, widely regarded as the most widely compatible of the many DVD formats (great for sharing camcorder footage with loved ones).

Panasonic's Time Slip feature lets you use your DVD recorder like a personal video recorder, or PVR. Because of DVD-RAM's extremely fast transfer rate, you can view the recorded portion of an ongoing program from the beginning, while still recording the program in progress. In addition to recording new video content, the DMR-E80HS lets you transfer your favorite VHS recordings to durable, space-saving discs. Personal movie libraries and family videos can be archived, preserved, and easily cataloged and accessed. Picture-enhancing technologies include 3D noise reduction, block noise reduction, and mosquito noise reduction.

With the Direct Navigator you can instantly access recorded material from an onscreen menu that lists recording dates, times, channels, and titles. Finding and viewing recorded material is simple because there's no need to search, fast-forward, or rewind. You can even perform simple non-linear video editing, such as rearranging the order of scenes, skipping over unwanted scenes, and creating custom playlists of favorite scenes on a disc.

2 out of 5 stars Lasted almost 2 years... I expected more.......2007-11-16

This unit worked great for almost 2 years. Now, I cannot record anything from the hard drive to the DVD. I get the same "RECOVER" message a lot of people are getting and the unit reboots. At this point, I can still record to the hard drive and watch programs at a later time. I'm wondering how long that will even last now. I wouldn't be surprised if a cheap unit broke so soon... but I paid a lot of money for this and expected much more.

5 out of 5 stars Equal to my TIVO!!! .......2007-04-25

I've had mine for about 4+ years and have loved it! The only problem I had was when I did a lot of editing and "gunked" it up. My only solution was to format the hard drive. I lost everything but now I know that I need to eventually save my recordings to DVD-R or DVD-RAM. After that, I'll do a format to keep things running smoothly. I use DVD-RAM disks to archive everything. If I want to share my recordings, I can transfer what's on DVD-RAM back onto the recorders hard drive and re-record onto a DVD-R.
Since few portable DVD players play DVD-RAM, I purchased Panasonic's LS-90 portable DVD player, which plays the DVD-RAM format. It works great and has a quality picture. Don't buy the less expensive LS-91. The quality is not comparable.

4 out of 5 stars Get one of these and avoid cable/satellite TV!.......2007-04-17

I've owned this unit for about six months, and just yesterday I discovered that it is compatible not with just cable boxes, but also high definition TV tuners, like my DigitalStream box! The built-in TV Guide system will even sync through the HD Tuner! If you're like me and watch a few key shows on network TV, you can save that 50 bucks a month for cable, hook this recorder up to an HD tuner, and simply record your favorite tv shows when they're on to watch at your leisure!

I don't necessarily recommend this specific unit as this is a very old model, but I want to make clear that I love this unit's DVD recorder, its DVR capabilities, and most of all not having to pay monthly TiVo or cable bills!

5 out of 5 stars Still going strong!.......2007-04-15

I purchased this product the very month it became available and as of this review that is almost four years ago. I have treated it with kid gloves and it has repayed me by performing brilliantly. I have created well over a hundred DVD's, (probably closer to two hundred), and countless HDD recordings. Using the editing functions, the playlists, and other features is relatively easy and intuitive. If I were forced to find fault with this excellent product, it would only be that it takes a bit too long to power-up, and when dubbing from playlists the high speed dub feature can't be used. There are probably other Panasonic units available now which supersede this one, and they may well be as excellent, but I like this one just fine!

4 out of 5 stars Only one reason..........2007-02-20

There is only one reason to own the Panasonic DMR-E80:
Creating and editing a playlist. If you have no interest
in that function, there are faster, better DVR's that will
burn a DVD in a fraction of the time.

I own two of these units. I have experienced problems
with not recording, or locking up (unplug the unit, then
plug it back in and hold your breath). I have replaced one
hard drive (easier than doing a PC), but never had a problem
with a disc drive. When I learned that later units made by
Panasonic did not allow you to edit your playlists, I
bought my second DMR-E80. NOTE: You can't dub your edited
playlist to HDD or DVD. You must use a second DVR to record
and burn the playlist to DVD.

These are not "workhorse" recorders. Mine don't like anything
other than 4.7 Gb silver DVD's (4x,8x, even 16x) and they ae
SLOOOW! Creating and editing a playlist takes some time to
master, but the DMR-E80 makes the effort well worth it to me.
That's why I have two of them.
