A VCR killer extraordinaire, but with limitations nonetheless

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: As a vcr replacement with great video quality and flexibility, it works fabulously. But if you want to back up sources with 5+ channel audio, this deck won't satisfy you.
Review: The DMR-HS2 provides exceptional recording quality in XP (1 hr per dvd-r) and SP (2 hr per dvd-r) modes. DVD-Rs created with this machine play well in most dvd decks (I have not tested the model with DVD-RAM discs due to the excessive cost of these...

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2005

I bought it last week and was dissapointed to learn that only DVD-R and DVD-RAM are supported. Couldn't find ways to copy from DVD to HD. No CD-R, CD-RW burning...

Another excellent Panasonic recorder

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Not the most current model, but still a good choice for most A/V systems.
Review: I purchased the HS2 at Best Buy for about $900. This is the second of my three Panasonic recorders and was bought as an upgrade to the E20.

What I like:

Since this unit has a hard drive it's possible to edit programs before...
