Panasonic DMR-ES30VS DVD Recorder

The DMR-ES30VS offers versatile recording options. When you use a kind of erasable DVD known as "DVD-RAM," you can take advantage of some cool features usually only found in popular hard drive-based digital video recorders. For example, these discs are capable of simultaneous recording and playback. That means you can record a new show to DVD-RAM, while watching a previously recorded show on the same disc. The VCR adds even more recording capability. In fact, this combo unit can capture two different TV shows at the same time. Save the game for your housemate on VHS, without having to skip a week in your DVD collection of this season's 24. (The 'ES30V has one TV tuner only - simultaneous VCR and DVD recording requires connection of a separate TV tuner, cable box, or satellite receiver.) This is also a great deck for archiving valuable home videos. You can save homemade VHS tapes to durable DVD, or transfer non-copy-protected DVDs to VHS. One-touch two-way dubbing makes it quick and simple. And to help keep things organized, the 'ES30VS automatically creates titles and thumbnail images for all of your DVD recordings. With these convenient features, creating your customized video library is a snap.
