Panasonic DVD/VCR
Does pretty much what I wanted. One problem........no controls on the machine. So, if you lose your controller, you're SOL.

Good when it worked
I have used the DVR daily for just over a year.
Pros:
DVD RAM format superior to +/- R
Digital Tuner
Overall features
Cons:
No HDMI on this model (some have it)
Slow (annoyingly so) to change channels
Unreliable
Prone to lock-ups requiring resets
Who should buy this unit? Avoid this unit, especially used ones.
The unit regularly crashes requiring a reset. It does this about once a month. This was okay to deal with. Just after a year of owning it the unit refused to eject a cassette I had checked out from the library. I searched the internet and found this was a common problem. I opened the DVR and manually ejected the cassette and it was fine, turned out it was a jammed cassette (I don't know why it couldn't eject it instead of throwing error codes).
A week after the cassette problem, the unit failed to eject a DVD. Same problem, looked on the internet and saw this was a fairly common problem. No electronic device should be this much fuss, especially one that cost me $280 new.

DVD Recorder
Delivery was prompt and quality was like new. The unit is solid and sturdy and works fine. You may not get all the bells and whistles, but it gets the job done.

works well for me
The downconverted video that it records doesn't look like HD, but it is a noise free, ghost free recording, which is what I expected.
Just FYI, it will not allow you to record any digital broadcast to VHS.

Item didn't work!
The combo would be great if it didn't come broken. I have since tried another one and it too is broken and the company that sent this one, Outlet, in L.A., sold this one to me as a brand new one and it also is broken. I cannot reach Outlet as their phone # is NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Just great! Panasonic has agreed to fix this one for me. Although I will be without it for a month while it is being fixed, I am hopeful that I will get one that works and will be able to rate it's preformance. I hear they are good. This is my only reason for trying to get one that works. I am hoping for the best.
