It will also play CD, VCD, CD-R and CD-RW discs with 3 or 5 inch discs. ~~~ DVD-R ~~~The DVD-R is basically like a CD-R disc made to write on it once for a permanent record. Be sure to look at your discs because it Will Not work with a DVD+R disc.~~~ DVD-RAM ~~~When it comes to recording media for a DVD it can become confusing because of the different formats available. In the rewritable discs for DVD you have DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM. The Panasonic DMR-E20 uses the DVD-RAM discs.The DVD-RAM is DVD disc that can be recorded and erased for about 100,000 times verses the DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs that can only be recorded and erased about 1000 times.DVD-RAM is basically a high-speed removable hard drive that can read and write video at the same time. This gives you recording and editing capabilities that are similar to those of a TiVo digital video recorder.~~~ Recording ~~~To record a movie the Panasonic DMR-E20 gives you four recording speed to pick from.XPThe XP speed on a 4.7GB DVD-RAM will give you one hour of the best quality for recording. This is professional quality but you are limited to only one hour of recording time.SPThe SP speed on a 4.7GB DVD-RAM will give you two hours of recording. This here is pretty good quality and my recommendations for putting a whole movie on one DVD.LPThe LP speed on a 4.7GB DVD-RAM will give you four hours of recording. The quality here is about like recording on a VHS tape in the fastest mode of only two hours on a six hour tape. If you only have a small TV then this speed will give you pretty good results but I would not recommend it if you have a large screen TV.EPThe EP speed on a 4.7GB DVD-RAM will give you six hours of recording. This recording mode reminds me of the quality you get when you record a VHS tape in the six hour recording mode, quality is rather poor. I would not recommend this recording speed.You can purchase DVD-RAM discs with 9.4GB and double the recording time of the standard 4.7GB discs.~~~ Forward or Backwards ~~~The Panasonic DMR-E20 lets you scan a DVD forwards and backwards at 2x, 10x, 30x, 70x and 100x the normal playing mode speed. The audio is only heard in the 2x forward speed but you do see the picture in all speeds.You can also freeze a frame on the DVD.You can play a CD forwards and backwards with the audio heard at all speeds of 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x and 50x of the normal audio speed.~~~ Audio ~~~The DMR-E20 lets you play Dolby Digital and DTS audio for the best movie experience. You will have to use it through a receiver with the built-in decoders to work. There is an optical output to connect to a receiver.Product Features Panasonic Backward-Compatible DVD Video Recorder with Time Slip Playback records to DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs Direct Navigator This feature makes it easy to find a desired program on a heavily used disc. A list of recording dates, times, channels and (user-entered) titles are shown on screen. When you move the cursor to any particular recording, the segment is played in the background, so playback can begin immediately upon selection. Program deletion, protection, and title input are also easy to perform. Up to 99 programs can be handled at once. Playlist Function The Playlist function lets the user perform simple non-linear video editing—such as rearranging the order of scenes, skipping over unwanted scenes, or copying selections—and create custom playlists of favorite scenes on a disc. Rapid Random Access Say goodbye to the rewind/fastforward shuffle. Unlike videotapes, DVD-RAM discs let you jump directly to any spot on a disc and begin playback or recording right away. Even if there is no sequential area of empty space available, our DMR-E20 DVD Video Recorder can record data on the available space throughout the rest of the disc. There's no more wasted time finding a place to start recording, or the problem of accidentally recording over desired material. Incredible Storage Capacity Using the DMR-E20, you can record up to 12 hours of video on our new, 2-sided, 9.4GB DVD-RAM discs. These discs can be played back on a DVD-RAM compatible DVD player—such as Panasonic's DVD-RP91 or DVD-H2000—or on a PC or laptop computer equipped with DVD-RAM playback capability2. Users can also edit their videos on a multi-media computer with video editing/production software. Space-Saving Storage A DVD-RAM disc takes up only about a third of the space of a VHS cassette, so your disc collection won't cramp your style. The ideal media for long-term storage of your valuable video images, DVD-RAM preserves quality over time, and also permits overwriting as desired. Easy Video Editing Instead of just shooting videos, now you can edit them too. Random access makes it easy to perform simple non-linear editing using just a single DVD Video Recorder, with no need for additional editing equipment. DVD-RAM Compatibility with PC Applications The DVD-RAM disc format is supported by major hardware and media manufacturers, and is thus hailed as the new "bridge format" for compatibility with audio/video and personal computing applications. You can take your DVD-RAM disc out of its protective cartridge, and play it back on a PC equipped with a 4.7GB/9.4GB DVD-RAM drive or DVD-ROM drive that's compatible with 4.7GB/9.4 GB DVD-RAM. With the proper software, you can also use your PC to edit your DVD-RAM recordings. And, since the discs we use are DVD-RAM, you can use them to backup your computer data, as well. Thanks to DVD-RAM, you can record, store, and play back secure data in more ways than ever before. Advanced MPEG2 Encoding Using Hybrid VBR Technology We combined two encoding technologies, Real time VBR (Variable Bit Rate) and Visibility Modulation Technology, to provide MPEG2 recording with superb picture quality. Here's how it works: Real Time VBR adjusts the bit rate according to video signal complexity, in order to optimize the compression ratio. At the same time, Visibility Modulation Technology reduces compression for the most noticeable parts of each signal while it filters out unimportant data to raise compression in other areas. This combination helps assure incredible picture quality for your preferred DVD-RAM recording mode. Selectable Recording Modes You can set the DMR-E20 to a variety of recording modes, each depending on average bit rate. EP mode yields the most recording time, LP & SP mode provide less recording time with higher quality recording, and XP mode gives you the highest quality recording. There's also the FR (Flexible Recording) mode that lets you record with the best picture quality possible for the recording time and remaining space on the disc. Improved Video Quality in Analog-to-Digital Transfer Input TBC, 3D Y/C separation circuitry, and 3D digital noise reduction are particularly effective when recording from analog video sources such as conventional VHS or S-VHS VCRs. Input TBC is a built-in time base corrector that delivers highly stable, natural images. The 3D Y/C Separation Circuitry minimizes the dot crawl and color smearing caused by interference between the video signal's Y and C color subcomponents. And, 3D Digital Noise Reductioneffectively removes noise components from the signal during playback.    In open box dvd recorder, has simultaneous play so you can play and record at the same time.
