I was recomended both these recorders as being top of the line for around $200 or less. I was just about set to purchase the Panasonic ES15S or ES20S from circuity city on sale when someoen told me the recording quality becomes very bad when recording over 2 hours. However, someone else pointed out all dvd recorders have that problem and is best to keep under 2 hours. Then both these recorders were mentioned and talked about highly. Now I don't know what to go with. Panasonic is easier to find than Pioneer but if the Pioneer is better I don't mind searching for one. Can anyone choose from these 2 or possibly clue me in to a better one? Thanks
Toshiba is s*hit pure and simple. The name toshiba itself is synonymous with sh*it itself. Phillips, sanyo liteon all fit the same bill a complete piece of junk. Warrantied for one year and bust right on that date. Panasonic and the old pioneer recorders will all last 3 times longer than these.
