Summary: The DMR-ES15S is a great product.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good unit- a bit outdated, though.
Comment: 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.
I was not pleased.
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.
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.

Summary: just get it you will love it
Comment:
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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Do not buy this product until you know what a U61 error is
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Already broken
Comment: 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.
