Panasonic DMR-EA18K Progressive Scan DVD Recorder

Connection with the HDMI cable was easy, and everything looked great. I was able to play DVDs without a problem, and really liked the user interface.

BIG PROBLEM - I could not get it to record either on DVD-R or DVD+R, and I tried several of each. It would accept the disc and identify it. It even let me name the disc, but every time I pressed "record" it would say 'there might be a problem with the disc,' and then would go into self-check mode. This is never a good sign. I had to unplug it to get it out of self-check mode each time.

I was trying to record from a Tivo, but I don't think this was related to the problem.

I called Panasonic customer service, who suggested a disc cleaner or buying individual DVDs as opposed to a scroll or stack of DVDs. Upon pressing for a diagnosis of the problem, they said the drive likely was defective, and I could send it in for service. I've only had it for 1 week, so I'm opting to return it, as I don't want to get stuck with what might be a dud.

Now we will settle back and just enjoy this Panasonic at an excellent price and excellent quality. The manual is very involved and not being a technical person (female), decided to let my "instincts" take over. Unplugged the other unit and plugged the Panasonic in the same way and we have a Pioneer TV so the ability for two Panasonics to communicate, did not happen however, did not find that to be any kind of a problem. Had to purchase an HDMI splitter as the Pioneer only had one HDMI connection and needed two since we have Directv Satellite. After connecting and getting everything working, did a lot of "playing" with the remote to find out what I needed to just do what I wanted to do. There are plenty of things to
