Starlogic Multi-region 2.1 DVD Player

I`m looking to buy my daughter a reasonably priced DVD Player for Christmas. Preferably, I would like one that is multi-region and can also handle DVD-Rs. Does anyone have any experience of this player which Amazon are selling for £29.99? It seems like a really good deal but wouldn`t be as much of a bargain if it can`t handle discs recorded on my Panasonic E55. Alternatively, does anyone have any better suggestions?

Thanks!

Help! Problem recording NTSC on the Panasonic E55

I`ve recently bought a Panny E55 and a new Panny VCR so that I can transfer my old video tapes across to DVD. I`ve just tried to copy a NTSC tape (which plays fine on the VCR) but when I record it on the E55 I get two black bars at the bottom of the screen which means that I only see part of the picture. The two machines are connected via a good quality scart lead. Can anyone advise please? :/

Thanks!

Panasonic DVD RAM Cartridges

I`m looking at buying the Panny E55 DVD Recorder. Although I intend to record mainly onto DVD-R, I was thinking about buying some DVD RAM discs for general TV recordings. Could somebody please expalin the difference between those supplied within a cartridge and those without? Will I only be able to use one type or will the Panny accept both? Is it worth buying any DVD RAM discs or should I just stick to DVD-Rs? Your comments are welcomed.

Thanks

RE: Good, cheap video recorder required for transferring tapes to DVD

Thanks for the reply! My JVC isn`t that old and the picture quality has never been brilliant so I don`t think it`s the heads. However, I have another question... if I use the JVC VCR to record from, would I get improved picture quality using the SVHS connections even though the tapes haven`t been recorded in SVHS?

RE: Good, cheap video recorder required for transferring tapes to DVD

Thanks for your reply. Most, if not all, of the video tapes are home recordings not pre-recorded. Regarding the VCR, my current JVC isn`t a patch on my previous models - including some Panasonic models. I may have to start looking for a cheap Panny VCR but would appreciate any recommendations.

Good, cheap video recorder required for transferring tapes to DVD

I`ve convinced myself that I need to buy a DVD Recorder and have decided on the Panasonic E55 (I think). Primarily, I would like this so that I can back up all of my PAL and NTSC video tapes. However, I`m not impressed by the picture quality of my current video recorder which is a JVC SVHS machine so could someone please recommend a reasonably priced video recorder which has very good picture quality? I don`t want to spend a lot of money as it will only be used for the transfer process. I guess that the right connections for the Panny must also be a consideration.

Thanks!
