## Description

desertcart.com 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. Product Description This DVD Player/RAM Recorder from Panasonic has a built-in 80GB hard drive allowing you to not only record DVDs but also store more than 100 hours on its built-in memory.

Review: I love this machine! - I've had this machine for over 2 years and I love it. It's completely eliminated any need for me to EVER use video tapes for any reason. Simple and logical to use, record everything to the HD first, then edit it nice and neat and burn to disc. I wanted to put in a review though specifically to comment on what some other reviewers have said. Someone said they encountered the 'recovery' & 'bye' issue when a burn failed, and that happens sometimes. Especially if you clog up the HD with files, it can have a minor heart attack, but that doesn't mean the machine is broken, it doesn't need to be fixed. Just erase the problem file and it'll be fine again, it's very rare that this happens to me, and it's a minor annoyance compared to all the wonderful things this machine does. Clear off the HD and maybe reformat it and it'll be golden again. Sometimes if gets really confused and has a serious breakdown, I've found I might need to unplug it to just get it to quit trying to figure out what went wrong and reset, but that always works, and once it recovers it's fine again. This is a complex machine, but it's very robust. Regarding HD failure, that DID happen to me. All hard drives are susceptable to eventual failure, and I ran that thing into the dirt with heavy use, and it eventually failed completely. But you don't need to pay some electronics shop jerk $320 to fix it, that's a rip off. There's absolutely nothing unusual about the HD in these things. I just opened up the case, pulled out the HD, went to CompUSA and bought a new one (got a 120 of the same manufacturer cause they were out of 80's), plugged it in, closed it up, machine recognized it immediately, formatted it, and it's been working like a beauty ever since. Total fix cost was less than $100 to buy the new drive. My machine has been in heavy use for 2 years, and it's performed like a champ. It's needed a bit of babying sometimes, but 99.5% of the time it's the best recording machine I've ever had, and the other 0.5% of the time you just have to let it recover, perhaps give up on a file or two if they got corrupted (VERY rare, but the machine isn't broken). I won't claim it's perfect, but it's SO good the occasional weakness is so minor that I can't get upset by it. Hope this helps some of those who already have this machine. Don't give up on it at the tiniest hiccup. It's a tough machine and does a fantastic job if you stick with it. Oh yeah, one last cool thing I discovered about this machine. Near as I can tell the Panasonic models of DVR/DVD recorders are the only ones that maintain 640 x 480 resolution at LP speed. All the other brands start cutting out lines to save data space below SP, but the Panasonic stays full res, with perhaps a few more encoding artifacts, but I'd rather have some extra coding artifacts than dump entire lines of resolution. Most things look great even at LP, which allows 4:20 to fit onto a single DVD.
Review: WOW- - The DMR-E80 is just what we expected and more. The first task was to transfer and edit a home movie taken during a long trip across the USA. I have edited video for commercial television, medical and educational use since 1967 and this unit is the best yet. It is now possible for the average customer to edit videos with ease and perfection. The scene start and stop features, search and other editing functions make this product complete. Panasonic, you could have spent a few more cents on "soy ink" to add a few editing tips to the instructions for those not familiar with video editing and I would have given 5 stars. Well worth the price and once again desertcart.com came thru with fast, easy purchase and delivery of my items.

### ⭐ Problems of other reviewers are real
*by F***H on August 31, 2004*

This sounds like other reviews on Amazon.com. After about six months of use, my recorder started losing the ability to recognize commercial DVDs. Then, it locked up while dubbing from HD to DVD-R, went into Recover, and made the disk useless--at $1.50 or so a pop. Then, it stopped working altogether. The repair place that Panasonic sent me to said that they couldn't get a new "deck" from Panasonic for about six weeks. I called Panasonic, got the part expedited, but, when the repair part was installed weeks later it turned out to be defective. That was weeks ago. New repair parts are still weeks out. The parts guy at the repair place told me that these things break constantly, specifically that they were released to the market before the technology was right. So, the Panasonic DMRs are piling up at the shop. It takes a long time to talk to someone at Panasonic (I'm on hold now and have been for about 20 minutes). The people I've talked to are nice but refuse to connect me to anyone above them and essentially are not permitted to do more than pass on the problem to their bosses. The most recent one even said this was my fault because I didn't call every few days to see if they had done anything about the part. When I told him that this was corporate responsibility, he just got evasive and continued to make it my fault. So, if you buy this, expect it to break, expect that there are no parts, expect to get the run around. I paid a lot of money for something that doesn't work and can't be fixed. Anyone for a class action lawsuite?
