Technology has progressed to the point where it’s not enough to just watch DVDs; we want to make our own. The DVD recorder is solution because it allows you to watch DVDs and record your own content. The Panasonic DMR-ES15 is perfect for this because it allows you to both create and watch DVDs, all with a single, easy-to-use device.The Panasonic DMR-ES15 can record content from the TV through the use of its TV tuner and then immediately burn the video to a DVD. Many people use this feature to record their favorite TV shows, but you can also record your own content. Other devices, such as a camcorder, can be connected to the Panasonic DMR-ES15 through the Firewire connection and then the recorder can record your video to a DVD.The experts liked the fact that the Panasonic DMR-ES15 could perform upconversion on regular DVDs up to 1080p resolution. This helps the Panasonic DMR-ES15 make regular DVDs look better on a high definition screen. Consumers liked the fast setup and simple interface of the device; though some voiced problems with finalizing some discs.Whether you want to compile your own videos onto a DVD or record your favorite TV shows, the Panasonic DMR-ES15 is the right DVD recorder for your needs.
