Amazon.com Product Description
Record your home movies and your favorite TV programs easily to DVD disc with the Panasonic DMR-ES15S progressive scan recorder/player, which provides ultimate flexibility in recording media options. You can choose write-once DVD+R and DVD-R discs or rewritable DVD-RW/+RW and DVD-RAM discs (the latter being a great choice for temporary storage of recorded material as it can be rewritten more than DVD-RW). It's easy to record TV programming with the built-in analog TV tuner with RF pass-through. In addition to standard DVD movie and CD audio discs and its compatible recordable formats, the DMR-ES15S can play back CD-R/RW, dual layer DVD-R/+R, and VCD disc formats as well as JPEG, and MP3 digital formats. p 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 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 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. p 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 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. p 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 p Jump directly to any spot on a disc and begin playback or recording right away with the Rapid Random Access function when using DVD-RAM discs. 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. p Enjoy a great picture on you flat screen LCD or plasma HDTV using the component video output, and immersive surround sound via the optical digital audio output for Dolby Digital and DTS home theater effects.

5 out of 5 stars The DMR-ES15S is a great product.   September 8, 2008
R. K. Green Sr. (gaithersburg, md)
I've owned several DVD recorders, (Sony, LG) and have had problems with all of them except the Panasonic DMR-ES15S. In fact, I have been so satisfied with its performance that I presently own 3 of them. The last one I purchased was well after Panasonic had upgraded its dvd recorders to a newer model. I patiently searched on line until I was able to purchase another DMR-ES15S. It may not have the most attractive design, however if you are looking for reliable dependable dvd recorder, I don't think there is a better dvd recorder on the market. And the DMR-ESA5S' capability to record in DVD-RAM, sets it head and shoulders above its competitors. Great product, you can't go wrong with this purchase.


4 out of 5 stars Good unit- a bit outdated, though.   September 8, 2008
Tryce Dnae Sanders (Sacramento, CA, USA)
Had this unit for over 2 years now, it's been good to me, with the exception of one "U61" error, which forced me to take in for repairs. br / br /I was not pleased. br / br /But, overall, it has worked great. The price is a bit prohibitive nowadays though- if you look around here on Amazon, or other sites like newegg etc, you can see more advanced units for much less- ones that upconvert regular DVDs to more HDish quality, etc. br / br /Overall, I am very pleased with the unit I bought, but I'm looking to move onto something a bit newer (but still cheaper than Blu-ray, because I'm a big cheapo still), and you might consider doing the same.
