BEWARE - PLAYBACK IS NOT AS IT SEEMS
By Kevin Connors
Please note this vitally important information that you can only know AFTER you purchase this DVD player and read Page 6 of the Operating Instructions: "DVD-RAM discs recorded using this unit cannot be played on other DVD players (including units made by Panasonic except specific players having DVD-RAM playback capability). The only type of blank disc which the unit can record (and play back) is a DVD-RAM/RAM 4.7 (type 2 cartridge recommended but type 1 can also be used)."
Therefore, when you tape on this machine, you CAN ONLY playback on this machine or other SPECIAL Panasonic machines (that have only just been released with DVD-RAM functionality) and you have to use special DVD's as well. Be careful, this is far less useful when you cannot give a taped DVD's to your friends and family to watch without giving them your DVD player as well !!
Good luck,

does what it was designed to do nothing more/or less.
By Mr Nobody.
Having purchased this item,it seems to do exactly what it was designed to do,which is recording and editing of tape and broadcast material.Although this item does not play its recorded media on most other manufacturers DVD players,it posseses powerful editing features,which allow for creation of a master which is capable of being overwritten and used again.If your looking for something to copy camcorder tapes and send them to friends,this isnt what you need,go to ebay and buy a VCD burner,Video CD recorder:ie OX-DVA 2000, which copies media to a regular 74 minute CDR.If you like collecting and editing old out of print movies and tapes,and plan on buying two units,use this one for making a master and purchase a DMR-E20 or a Panasonic DMR-T2020D and make your final copy on a DVDR.note:DVD RAM discs are expensive and this unit uses specific types.DVDR discs are not cheap,but they are cheaper then dvd ram,but to my knowledge the cheap ones are write once only,and if you spoil the recording your out a disc.this unit also requires some getting used to,my only regret is that if i had waited a few days,I could have paid alot less.hope this helped you on making a purchase decision. best regards, STNOTE:if you want a unit that records on both types of media the Panasonis DMR-E20,and the Panasonic DMR-T2020D(pro version)are compatable with both DVDRAM and DVDR.

By ralph gottlieb
I didn't read the previous reviews carefully enough. DVD's recorded on this unit can only be played back on this unit. I bought it so I could record DVD's and watch them elsewhere. Since I can't do that, I am sending the unit back. It is too bad that this feature--or lack of feature--wasn't mentioned in the item's description. That would have saved me considerable time and trouble.
