Hello, I bought DMR-EZ17 about 2 months ago...I have a DMR-EZ17 that I purchased around the same time as you did...I have found perhaps one problematic disc in every 400 blanks with TDK, Maxell, and Verbatim DVD-R media...
The PanasonicDMR-EZ17 dvd recorder is my second dvd recorder...I would recommend this unit to anyone interested in a dvd recorder...I expect good performance from Panasonic dvd recorders...While the tuner sensitivity is very good and the picture is fine,it locks up if you change the channels quickly...
That is the problem with reading any reviews on this type of site...Mine is an older model 540H - no DV in, no HDMI or upscaling, and an analogue tuner...
Today it died with a U61 and U99 error...My PanasonicDMR-EZ17 dvd recorder has broken down for the third time in 18 months...Was hoping someone could help me out...
Why would you recommend this product, or why not...Both of these units had good quality in the 4 hour mode...I chose this recorder due to the good reviews it got for the tuner...
