Yes, it does.

Trust me, it doesn't compare. L'Appartement was one of the most finely crafted films of the 90's.

Which is exactly why I recommended it. It's not to be grouped in with the lot of your typical scifi produced drek. It's one I feel should be mentioned, along with B5, as one of the best representing the genre. Don't be turned of by however you felt it was marketed. It's certainly not a show I'd...

It's quite effective. You're simply letting the unit know how long your recorded footage is going to be so that it can use the maximum quality and bitrate settings for the designated time (filling the disc). With a HD unit, I'd setup a FR recording and pad it out for a minute or so (to...

Just wanted to jump in quickly and reiterate that you both hang in there as S2 is when things really start rolling. Additionally, a quick aside to Dave. As you appear to be a rapid fan of B5, I'd highly suggest you invest in Farscape. Many of us who adore B5 are also tremendous fans of this...

This should have been Terry Gillain's adaptation, which unfortunately was sunk by a combination of poor financing, an injured lead actor, and natural disasters on location. For an intriguing look at how this highly anticipated film fell apart at the seems, check out "Lost In La Mancha". To...

There are NO standalone DVDR units which edit on exact edit points, nor do I see this capability coming anytime soon. The only way to edit directly using I-Frames utilizing exact edit points is with a computer. The advantage the E-85 has over the E-80 in regard to Playlists is that Playlists may...

As for the Star Wars LD's, they are the original theatrical presentations, unlike the DVDs which are being released. These are of the Special Editions only. Damn you Lucas :angry:

Sorry, but your information is incorrrect. It states quite clearly in the E-80 manual that Panasonic has a 1 year Parts/Labor warranty on their DVD Recorders.

The problem with the Tivo based units is you have NO ability to edit footage. Faced with this fact, the Panny was an obvious choice for me.

There are no +R HDD based recorders out yet.

Simple answer....NO.

NO standalone DVD recorder at this time records in 5.1. NONE.

Not sure about utilizing the Sears Credit Card, however, I specifically asked and was told I could easily return mine within 30 days no questions asked.

Andrew he means selling his existing one when the new models have been ANNOUNCED i.e. not yet released or just trickling into stores. This way the older model will still go at or near a premium price.

Mike, The black level bug is essentially where you'll find washed out/badly contrasted blacks when playing back content recorded to DVDR from the unit on other standalone's. This was fixed with the release of the E-50/60/80/100 models. You may want to look around and see if you can find an E-80...

Daman, good luck with your search and I hope you are able to find one still available. I hooked up the 5660 last evening and have noticed a vast improvement. Much warmer and fuller sounding than what it replaced. My speakers now have a new lease on life. Would have been even better with the...

As it was an open box and the only unit left I was able to talk them into an additional 15% off (this would not apply to the Sony). There's also a $10 off $100 print out coupon for the electronics section floating around at numerous message boards. Including these discounts I can walk out with...

I've found an open box Yamaha HTR-5660 (Everything included: remote/manual etc.) and a new in box SONY STR-DE895 for roughly the same price. Any opinions as to which unit would be the better all around performer?

I have the Facet unit as well in combination with an E-80, and I've never seen nor heard of the end recording coming out in black and white only.

I wouldn't say they typically allow haggling, however, as the E-80 is on clearance and the salesman was unwilling to work with me I asked for the manager. He put up some mild resistance at first, but in the end, I got the price I wanted.

After browsing through the manual at a local BB, it appears the E-85's main advantages over the E-80 are significant, however, considering the list on this new unit is $699 and I was able to haggle a Circut City manager down to $365 for an E-80, I'll be waiting a bit before upgrading. What I was...

The E-85 actually has a 4x drive which is identical to the E-100. The main advantage to the newly released E-85 is it now has the ability to dub a finalized DVD-R back to the HDD.

I'm curious if you'd be interested in a trade for The Hole and A Room with a View (If you still have them) for the Region 1 release of the Japanese cult film Audition which was just recently released? If not, please reply back as I'd still be interested in purchasing The Hole from you.
