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.
Do not buy this product until you know what a U61 error is [Posted on 2008-07-28]
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.
just get it you will love it [Posted on 2008-08-18]
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.
Good unit- a bit outdated, though. [Posted on 2008-09-08]
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.
The DMR-ES15S is a great product. [Posted on 2008-09-08]
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.
