Rating  - just get it you will love it
had it for a while now, recorded more dvd music vidoes that i can count
paid for itself months ago. i bought this for one purpose, to save any
video and audio that i feed into it, i cant say about the features i only
use record. play . stop .and finalize done.
Rating  - Do not buy this product until you know what a U61 error is
There is not a lot to add to what others have said about this unit, except to let anyone know buying this unit that there are a lot of units failing out there. I liked the unit, but it only lasted about 18 months. I got the U61 failure code and it is a physical failure of the DVD unit. You can put it into Google with the model DMR-ES15 (or other Panasonic models)to understand more about the problem. If you are happy paying the going price for a DVD recorder with nice features, but having it last only about 18 months then buy it. Do not buy the unit thinking that it is an isolated problem.
Rating  - Already broken
I was very surprised at how quickly we started having serious problems with this DVD recorder/player. It is currently in the recycling heap. Too bad, we have always had great luck with Panasonic products.
Rating - PIECE OF JUNK!
DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT! I had one to quit working after a week, one to quit after 3 weeks and one to quit after 5 months. This model is not made to last. Each time it made the same sound and after that it would not read a disc.
Rating - U61 - Death Code BEWARE
OK, this probably will not save many people at this point since this unit has been surpassed by newer models. I am now frightened to even consider a Panasonic DVD Recorder. I purchased this unit and let it sit unopened for about six months due to other priorities in my life....major mistake. I started using it in October of last year (2007). It performed reasonably well I thought - a couple of minor issues but functionally it did what we wanted, which was to emulate our old VCR that we had disposed of (another Panasonic product BTW that lasted 10 years with no issues). In May of 2008 my wife indicate a code has come up on the display. I tried resetting the power and when that didn't work I did a Google of U61 and Panasonic DVD Recorder - I advise you to do the same. The issue is rampant across several Panasonic models. Also there is a U99 error that seems prevalent on certain units as well. Cost to buy this unit for me was about $120 plus shipping on sale. Cost to fix? Way over $200....what to do? Well, I guess the VCR is an option but it is ridiculous that a unit only lasted about 8 months and probably only made 40 recordings during that entire time. Bottom line is that I will be looking for a different manufacturer to replace this unit and I am terribly disappointed that Panasonic did not either recall or warranty this particular problem or at least offer an acceptable repair rate for something that is obviously flawed.
