Strengths: Easy to use So far reliable Finalized unfinalized DVDs that the old Philips would refuse to.
Weakness: No tuner
This is the 3rd DVD recorder I own. The previous 2 were Magnavox (died during the 1st year while under warranty), was replaced by Philips and also died a little after a year. So I decided to buy a "real" brand name and get a Panasonic. This one works great. It's much easier to use then the magna/Phil, has lots of bells and whistles for editing. I have no problem recording from the Dish network...
Strengths: There are plenty of things to play around with but bells and whistles are not my thing. I want to settle on the "bottom line" and only do what I want to do in the easiest manner, less time and effort
Weakness: The manual is very involved and not being a technical person (72 year old female), decided to let my "instincts" take over.
Purchased this Panasonic DMR-EA18K DVD unit online after an extensive amount of research to find a unit that just records and plays DVD's (also plays CD's). Have already tackled the conversion of VHS tapes to DVD's and wore out a VHS/DVD Sylvania player/recorder after 4 years. Now we will settle back and just enjoy this Panasonic at an excellent price and excellent quality. Unplugged the Sylvania...
THE GOOD: Outstanding recording quality, with a best-in-class LP mode; flexible recording speed; chasing playback with DVD-RAM discs; USB port and SDHC card slot; upscales DVD to 1080p; included IR blaster can control a cable or satellite box. THE BAD: No built-in tuner to receive analog or digital television broadcasts; cannot play back DivX files. THE BOTTOM LINE: Outstanding recording quality...

Panasonic DMR-EA18K Digital Video Recorder
Strengths: Many formats and functions. Good quality recordings.
Weakness: Cannot open or close disc drawer using remote.Manual is not clearly written on many functions.
This is a very good DVR and works well.Like many electronic items it is complex with many features. I never had a DVD player or DVR that did not have the remote open and close the disc drawer. The manual needs an update to more clearly explain its uses. Example:In order to set up the IR Blaster which enables the DVR remote to control your set top box, the exact placement of the control unit in...
