I'm new to dvd recorders i use to use pc all the time now i started to record ( the not important stuff on dvd recorder) particular the old models e55 and es15. My question is concerning the tread about tricks and tips for old recorders and there it statesI must be dumb on both i cant find video in setup and there is only picture ( in order : Tuning, Others,Disc,Picture,Sound,Display,Connection) that is when i press functions. Is there some secret menu function that I'm unaware of. I noticed that everybody complain about panasonic makes dark videos from analog ( vhs inputs) but in mine case is contrary very light or my eyes trick me.Go to SETUP - VIDEO - Black Level Control:
- Input level - make it "Darker".
- Composite & SVideo Output Level - make it "Lighter".
- Component Video Output Level - make it "Normal".
This will assure correct black level setting on your recorder (no brighter or darker recorded images compare to the originals).
Anyone ?

Your '04 E55 and '06 ES-15 don't have black level issues, I believe it was only the '01 and '02 Pannys that were set for the international black level even for DVDRs sold in N. America which uses a different black level.
If you have PAL machines you won't have such DARKER/LIGHTER settings, your machines should already set to 0 IRE(intl. black level). AFAIK only N. American Panasonics have such settings, my international EH-59 does NOT and therefor produce recordings that are too light with a standard NTSC input. My only source to my EH-59 is a DVD player that has a DARKER(or 0 IRE setting) and a AIWA PAL VCR which always outputs a 0 IRE analog signal, so my recordings come out just fine. -

The E60 is a '03 model. Here is a link to a chart I made over at AVS.
