Anyone using Panasonic DVD Recorder DMR-E85HS ??

[OneSublimeGuy]

Hi. I was toying with the idea of buying
Panasonic DVD Recorder w/120 GB HD.
Model DMR-E85HS. Is anyone using it?

I don't have DVR service on cable but have
digital cable. I was wondering what inputs
it has and if it creates DVD discs playable
on a standard DVD player such as Philips 724?
From what I understand the Philips won't play
DVD-R or DVD+R unless the recorder/burner puts
a file named Video_TS.VOB on the disc.

Any info on DVD Recorder with HD is
appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I've read the descriptions available on the web from Panasonic and everything I can google. What I'm looking for are people's personal experiences. Some stuff just isn't included in the technical specs and marketing hype.

Then google for bulletin boards that deal with DVD's and tech stuff, you should find the answers to your question on one of them.

Believe me I pursue avenues of information simultaneously.
On a board like this often you find a lot of people who mess
with pictures video and computers. So I never know
when my question might be read by someone with the
particular snippet of info.

Sorry if you got the impression I didn't appreciate your reply. That's
not so. I appreciate it anytime somebody takes the time to post
a serious response trying to be helpful.

I'm new to this board but I got the impression this forum
was kinda' wide open... so I didn't think my question was
off topic. I'm often wrong though. It's part of learning for
me.

I am not saying you won't get an answer from this board about a technical issue with piece of electronic gear, but you are more likely to get a valid response from a tech board dealing with the item you want the info on.

There are people out here with knowledge about a whole host of subjects, which never touch the board and may interest a lot of the readers.

Keep bumping it back up the board and see if you get a technical reply. I hope you do get the info you want.
