Panasonic DMR-ES15: Compare

By Richard Arrowsmith, CNET.co.uk on 29/05/2006

More Panasonic reviews , RRP: AU$379.00

The good:

  • Multi-format compatibility
  • DV input
  • Easy-to-use, accurate recordings
  • Impressive DVD playback

The bad:

  • Ordinary design
  • Analog tuner only
  • No RGB Scart input

The bottomline:

Panasonic's DMR-ES15 is an ideal entry-level recorder for anyone looking to upgrade their old VCR. The absence of a digital tuner will discourage digital TV users -- but compatibility, usability, recording and playback performance are otherwise excellent.
