Thanks for the info Alan. Hearing that you "couldn't be more pleased" with the unit makes it sound very promising. And Michael, sorry about a redundant post, but I'm very new to board posting and didn't know that I could use the search feature like that. Now that I do, I will most certainly use it.
Greetings all, I have finally decided that it's time to invest in a recorder, and I've decided on the Panny E80 for it's hard drive. Actually, this will be my first DVD unit ever! So, I have some questions for those who now have this unit:1. How would you rate the learning curve for this model...
