Amazon.com Reviews

For ultimate recording and playback quality and versatility, look no further than Panasonic's DMR-ES30VS combination DVD player/recorder and 4-head/hi-fi VCR. The space-saving combo device offers the flexibility of recording on both DVD-RAM--ideal for instant chapter access and for multiple rerecordings--as well as DVD-R, DVD+R, and rewritable DVD-RW for full flexibility in recording and sharing your favorite programs (you can tailor your choice of format to the playback capabilities of your friends and family).

With the DMR-ES30VS you can digitally record superb picture and sound--up to 8 hours on a single-sided DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW or DVD+R, thanks to Panasonic's original VBR (variable bit rate) technology. (Rewriteable DVD-RAM discs can be rewritten over 100,000 times and offer 4.7 to 9.6 gigabytes per disc.)

The company's Time Slip feature lets the DVD recorder be used like a digital video recorder, or DVR. You sit down to watch this week's episode of your favorite show and realize that you never got around to watching your recording of last week's episode. Not a problem with Panasonic's Time Slip feature, which includes the ability to perform simultaneous recording and playback. Select this week's episode in the electronic program guide (EPG), start recording, and as it records you can watch your recording of last week's episode.

In addition to recording new video content, the DMR-ES30VS lets you transfer favorite VHS recordings to durable, space-saving discs. The Direct Navigator instantly accesses recorded material from an onscreen menu that lists recording dates, times, channels, and titles. Finding and viewing recorded material are simple, because there's no need to search, fast-forward, or rewind. And, with one-touch 2-way transferring, you can dub a VHS tape to DVD by pushing a single button or vice-versa (so long as the disc isn't copy protected).

One-touch DVD recording will save your favorite programs from accidental overwriting by automatically scanning the disc for blank space before starting the recording process. No more worries that your favorite sitcom's season finale will be overwritten by a family member's Sunday fishing show.

As a player, the DMR-ES30VS offers a progressive-scan video output for optimal picture quality when viewing a DVD movie on a high-definition or HD-ready TV. Progressive scanning doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60 of a second for each full pass. The higher-density video signal creates film-like DVD images with rich detail, extraordinary depth of field, and precise color reproduction.

VCR features include quasi S-VHS playback (plays Super-VHS tapes at standard-VHS resolution), Jet Search super-fast playback scanning, Jet Rewind, repeat play, and long-recording ability (10 hours to 1 VHS T-180 cassette). VCR Plus+ simplifies advanced programming. You can also record a TV program to VHS while you play or record something else on DVD.

What's in the Box
DVD/VCR combo, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, an AC power cord, a coaxial RF video cable, a stereo analog audio/composite-video cable (RCA), and a warranty/registration card.

5 out of 5 stars Panasonic DMR-ES30VS-what a deal!.......2007-08-17

Finally, a VCR/DVD Recorder an adult can master (I usually require a younger member of the family to program machines like this one). You don't even need to read the instructions with this one as the on-screen menus are excellent. Why can't they all be like this? This is my 3rd product of this type and my 2nd Panasonic. (The first one was damaged in shipping but did work surprisingly but all that aside I was not terribly impressed with my first exposure to the Panasonic line.)
The build quality of the DMR-ES30VS is quite excellent for anything in this price-range. Video quality using the progressive scan component out for dvd is above average. The VHS playback quality using S-Video out is on par with much more costly units. For recording the s-video input for dvd & vhs is clearly the best choice. Works well with all blank media formats I've tried so far. In a recent electrical storm my cable line was struck by lightning destroying the digital cable converter and rendering the DMR-ES30VS unresponsive. Luckily the main fuse was the ONLY damage to the unit (wish I could say that for the Cable box which was completely destroyed). So its kudos and atta-boys for this unit from me. I recommend it without hesitation. There are better units but not in this price-range. I give it a 5 stars because you just can't find a better unit at this price with these features,ease of setup,use & cost. BUY ONE NOW!

5 out of 5 stars great product.......2007-06-08

very pleased with product it is doing exactly what i wanted it to do.would rec the product to other buyers.

5 out of 5 stars Poor Man's TiVo.......2007-06-02

Works great, easily record on cheap DVD-RAM (8 hours on EP) setting. You do not have to leave unit on it starts and stops automatically, programs, easily. Cheap unit for under $100. You can always burn the saved movies to a DVD-R for perminant use.

5 out of 5 stars A great little workhorse.......2007-03-24

Wanted to get the portion of VHS/BETA of my 530 movie collection into the 21 century of DVD's without major spending. First tried the Pinnacle movie Maker but it didn't really perform as hoped (i.e. half way through the copying I'd get pixel seperation and later in the movie the discs would start to drag. Which the Pinnacle reps tried to help in correcting it never worked right. After reading the reviews on this unit I bought it and put it to work. The two neat features I really enjoy is on the VHS transfer all I have to do is set the record speed and hit "Copying", come back two hours later and I got a great copy. The second point is that on my older BETA tapes of programs recorder of TV presentations (Once an Eagle, Centennial, Noble House, etc)I wanted to remove all the commerial breaks. With this unit all I had to do was hit "pause" on the remote and the record light would flash until you went back to recording. In a little less then a month I recorded over 150 movies with great results and no problems from the re-furbished machine. While the instruction manual is a little difficult to work for advanced taping (dividing, chapters, editing, titles, etc.)I was up and running in about thirty minutes (all simple copying from tapes to DVDs) by just following the on scene tutorials. THe other great advantage of this stand alone unit over software programs and a computer is that you don't tie up your computer for long periods of time.

5 out of 5 stars dvd/vcr recorder.......2007-02-20

The item arrived must faster than I expected and I was thrilled with it. It was in perfect condition and works perfectly. Since I am technically challanged it was a little difficult for me to catch on to the operation of some of the functions but after careful reading of the instruction I managed too. I would recommend this seller.

          Product Description

          D-Link Antenna Extension Cables provide more distance between a wireless device and the device's antenna to optimize wireless LAN deployments. Rugged and durable, these cables are designed for indoor, outdoor, or rooftop wireless installations. Most routers and access points on the market today are equipped with a detachable standard antenna that can perform up to a certain distance or area. To accommodate integrators seeking to upgrade their default antenna to a higher gain antenna without risking signal loss, D-Link offers antenna cables in various lengths and connector types to help meet installation requirements. This enables wireless devices to be placed in a more ideal area to avoid environmental degradation, while the antenna itself can be placed away from a device and mounted in an open area for optimal wireless signal transmission and reception. In turn, networks will experience less signal loss and increased network performance. Connector types include RP-SMA, RP-TNC and RP-N and may be color-coded for easy installation.
