I'm thinking about buying this brand dvd recorder for its hard drive and editing features. The only thing im not sure about is how well does the recorder stabelizes old video tapes. i'm not talkin about macrovision. Im talking about tapes recorded in EP or SLP. You know when you record it in your vcr and lend it out and it plays all jumpy and tracking is off in your friends player. Do the picture enhancing features in the E100 fix these problems? Any person who owns this model and have info to help me would be great.

Based on what I am reading, Panasonic (any model) is very good choise. Their TBC should be very good.

I know I'll be the only one to say this, but I have tapes I recorded in 2001 which came out HOORIBLY onto the DMR-HS2, oddly enough when I disconnect the VCR from the Panny recorder they look like standard VHS tapeS!

These are NOT copy protected they were recorded off of FOX before a show was butchered after 9/11 for censorship issues and nI've yet to find a way to salvage them, likewise however, some tapes that SHOULD have Macrovision issues DO NOT and are easily moved to DVD-R, which I admit I should do to save said videos which are only available on VHS.
