Amazon.com Product Description

[Note: This item has been refurbished by the original manufacturer and is backed by a 90 day manufacturer warranty. Please see Product Features for more details.]

The Panasonic DMR-ES40VS DVD Recorder with Built-in VCR is a single home-theater device that takes the place of three different units. You get a DVD recorder, DVD player, and VCR in one unit. The DVD recorder is the most interesting of the three, allowing you to digitally record your favorite shows to DVD media. You get the advantage of film-like image quality, the ability to browse through recordings via thumbnail, and much more. Coupled with the built-in VCR, you also get the ability to backup your old home movies with the press of a single button. Your VHS tapes will only last so long, even if you don't watch them, so getting them to DVD can be essential to preserving your precious memories for a lifetime.

Panasonic's Time Slip function consists of two features designed to give you added flexibility and control when making DVD recordings: Chasing Playback and Simultaneous Record and Play. With Chasing Playback, you don't have to wait for an entire program to be recorded before watching it from beginning to end. This feature allows you to watch a program that's currently being recorded from any point that's already been recorded--while continuing to record the live program in progress. Simultaneous Record and Play allows you to record a program onto a disc while simultaneously watching any other program that's previously been recorded on the same disc.

You can set your recorder to one of five different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP mode yields the most recording time, LP and SP modes provide less recording time with higher quality recording, and XP mode gives you the highest quality recording. There's also the FR (Flexible Recording) mode that lets you record with the best picture quality possible for the recording time and remaining space on the disc.

The Direct Navigator feature makes it easy to find a previously recorded program on a disc. A list of recording dates, times, channels and (user-entered) titles are shown on screen. With the Playlist Playback function, you can perform simple non-linear video editing using, such as rearranging the order of scenes, skipping over unwanted scenes, or copying selections.

Jump directly to any spot on a disc and begin playback or recording right away with the Rapid Random Access function. Even if there is no sequential area of empty space available, this DVD recorder can record data on available space throughout the rest of the disc. You will also avoid searching for a blank spot to start recording, or accidentally recording over desired material.

What's in the Box
DVD recorder/player, remote control (with batteries), AV cable, RF cable, power cord, and printed operating instructions.

1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money.......2007-07-12

The features are great but they have a high infant mortality rate. Mine died two weeks before the warranty ended. I got it fixed. Now it's dead again, out of warranty, and it's cheaper to buy a new one then get this fixed. Two friends bought one around same time. One had exactly the same problem I did - died twice. This is the third Panasonic product I bought which croaked out after a year or two. They need to clean up their act. Meanwhile, if you buy any Panasonic product, especially their DVD recorders, make sure you can get an extended warranty.

4 out of 5 stars Versatile Video Machine.......2007-05-07

I bought one of these when it was new and decided I wanted another, since it does a good job with DVD's and the VCR I was using decided to act up. The DVD-RAM acts like a small-scale DVR and I am able to copy some old video tapes to DVD for future viewing.

The DVD part of the unit did not work when it arrived, but Panasonic sent me a letter so I could send it back for free using UPS and I had the unit back in 7 days working perfectly.

3 out of 5 stars A bit noisy, but its OK for the price.......2007-04-03

The product performs as stated on the ad. For a remanufactured unit, its OK...A bit noisy. The biggest plus is the price, thought...

5 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2007-02-02

I purchased the remanufactured model at the lowest price available and it was delivered four days later. I had read mixed reviews on this model but as it turns out, I was able to use the deck succesfully with little practice. I have copied videos from our Hi8 camera, from the VHS deck and from our Satelite DVR. The DVD quality is as good or better than the originals. I'm happy that I took a chance with a remanufactured unit. My one complaint is that the instruction manual was a black and white photocopy of the color original making it difficult to read. Some of the comments that its difficult to finalize the videos is much ado about nothing. I can't figure out how to insert chapters so I stop and start at logical breaks thereby creating chapterrs and the problem is solved. I recommend buying this model, but I admit its the only one that I have tried.

1 out of 5 stars Bad product with no manufacturer support.......2007-01-06

This product was glitchy from the get-go and has gotten progressively worse. Now it eats most DVDs that we try to record. Well, I've seen it again and again on reviews of this line of Panasonics, even many later models than mine, which is the DMR-ES40V. The unit eats DVDs. I buy top-rated, high-quality stock to record on. Doesn't seem to matter. Even after you "reboot" the unit as directed, by unplugging it for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in and holding the power button down for 10 seconds and then turning the unit back on. You record programs and before you can finalize the disk, it eats the disk and returns messages like: Nothing was recorded, Cannot read. Please check the disk, Cannot finalize disk. When you set the unit to record several scheduled programs, it will record some of them and then choke somewhere during the recording and get stuck saying it's recording when it isn't, then show that only a portion of the disk is still available for recording, while displaying the message that nothing was recorded.

This is still a bug several models later, and it appears that Panasonic doesn't care about fixing it, and they don't give a darn about quality and customer support. I went to their web site and tried to download the firmware update that it appears to offer. However, the download button takes you to an agreement page and after you check the I Agree checkbox and click Accept, nothing happens. There is no download. It just re-displays the original download page where you started. Endless loop.

Several reviews of several models of this product line stated that Panasonic would not support the customer even right after the purchase of a machine that clearly didn't work. The customer just had to eat it and buy another unit. Based on that, I'm sure not buying Panasonic ever again. Sad -- I've owned their products since the early 1970s. No more. I guess all they care about is taking your money.

My advice to other owners is finalize as quick as you can, hold your breath while it's finalizing and hope for the best. And never really expect to actually get to keep anything you record, it likely won't be there when you're through recording it.

          5 out of 5 stars Works well.......2007-12-16

          This car charger works well. I read the reviews after I had bought the charger and was afraid to use it. However, I tried the charger and it works very well. Ths USB should be inserted in the correct way (black side up) otherwise the the connections can be damaged. The phone can be used while the charger is working. I had no problems using this charger.

          1 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy.......2007-02-10

          Do NOT buy this piece of junk. I order two but neither works. First it is very hard to plug it to the cell phone. Then, it charges to ONE bar and doesn't go any further. Also, you cannot make a call while charging. The phone just goes crazy if you try to. Luckily my phone is still fine. I have thrown away both.

          1 out of 5 stars disappointed.......2007-01-16

          I ordered two chargers. One didn't work at all, and the other one works but you cannot use the phone AT ALL while it's charging. My boyfriend got Cingular's charger, and even though it was $30, it actually works like it is supposed to. You get what you pay for.

          1 out of 5 stars Sansung t809 Car Charger.......2007-01-12

          This item broke my cell phone. I had to buy a new cell phone. It worked fine in the car but when I had to re-charge using the wall charger, the wall chargaer wouldn't work. Then when I tried to use the cell charger after trying to use the wall charger... it didnt work any more.
          So... instead of saving money, this cost more money. It ruined the inside connections in my cell phone.
          I would rate this item as -0- stars... don't buy!!!!!

          1 out of 5 stars Lousy product - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.......2007-01-10

          This product never worked to charge my Samsung SGH-A707. I would plug it in and it would start to charge, but after less than 2 seconds, it would shut off and never restart. I guess you get what you pay for.
