Rating  - Works OK
The owner's manual was actually a set of photocopies from the original, and the pages were all disorganized. So I cut the pages out, rearranged them, and placed them into a binder, with sheet protectors. Now, I can find what I need to know.
It's rather tricky to do certain things, and some parts are a bit complicated. But once I learned how to use this product, it was OK. The only defect is a bad button on the remote (and it's not essential).
It's good for dubbing VHS tapes onto DVD-R's. That is if the tape doesn't have a tab that prevents dubbing. This take a little practice. Once you have it down pat, you can edit your DVD-R's, but it's hard to fix any mistakes.
It also does well reading a CD-R with a photo slide show. I put the pictures in the JPEG format, and load onto the CD-R using Adobe Photo Elements. It's time-consuming, but not too difficult. I don't know if this will work with BMP or other photo formats.
Rating  - Panasonic DMR-E75VS
Bought is product in August 2006. It works extremely well, but it has limitation.
1. All my attempts to utilize it with my cable box have not worked. I am able to accept cable signal input but not the full compliment of channels provided through my cable service.
2. Since I purchased it, the DVD record firmware and RAM have had to be replaced 6 times. Fortunately, I purchased an extended warranty and have not born the cost of these repairs (approx. $300 plus each time.)
3. The unit works very well for dubbing from VHS to hard drive. I have been able to move an entire collection of movies, sporting events and TV show from tape to DVD. It provides excellent editing function once written to the hard drive.
4. I'd recommend the unit as long as the buyer is cautious of the above noted issues. If Panasonic could work out the DVD recorder issues in a subsequent model, I'd buy again.
Rating  - Extremely Disappointed
After having owned this for just over a year, the unit rejects nearly 3 quarters of all my Dvd discs due to the proverbial 'cannot read disc' error. I tried recording several vhs tapes to various dvd media without any success. This may simply be an isolated problem, but nonetheless, my previous combos (other than panasonic) lasted years longer, under rigorous use. I'm currently shopping for a new brand because it would
be cheaper than repair. Fair or not, I cannot recommend panasonic.. in fact, I'll actually enjoy tossing this one.
