Amazon.com Product Description

Record your home movies and your favorite TV programs easily to DVD disc with the Panasonic DMR-ES25S progressive scan recorder/player, which provides ultimate flexibility in recording media options. It also includes an HDMI digital audio/video output, which can "up-convert" standard DVD movie discs to near HD resolution. Where standard DVD players (even progressive scan models) provide just 480 lines of resolution, the DMR-ES25S up-converts the picture up to 720p and 1080i high-def video formats--taking full advantage of your HD television's sparkling resolution. (Note that your TV must have an HDMI connection; HDMI cable not included.)

Choose from a full spectrum of recordable DVD media--write-once DVD+R and DVD-R discs or rewritable DVD-RW/+RW and DVD-RAM discs. (For temporary storage, such as your favorite weekly shows, DVD-RAM discs are a great choice as they can be rewritten more times than DVD-RW/+RW discs.) It's easy to record TV programming with the built-in analog TV tuner with RF pass-through and seven-day TV Guide electronic programming guide. In addition to standard DVD movie and CD audio discs and its compatible recordable formats, the DMR-ES25S can play back CD-R/RW, dual layer DVD-R/+R, and VCD disc formats as well as JPEG, and MP3 digital formats. You can also view individual images and photo slideshows using the integrated Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot (compatible with JPEG and TIFF file formats).

Panasonic's Time Slip function consists of two features designed to give you added flexibility and control when making DVD recordings: Chasing Playback and Simultaneous Record & Play. With Chasing Playback, you don't have to wait for an entire program to be recorded before watching it from beginning to end. This feature allows you to watch a program that's currently being recorded from any point that's already been recorded--while continuing to record the live program in progress. Simultaneous Record & Play allows you to record a program onto a disc while simultaneously watching any other program that's previously been recorded on the same disc.

You can set your recorder to one of five different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP mode yields the most recording time, LP & SP modes 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.

The Direct Navigator feature makes it easy to find a previously recorded program on a disc. A list of recording dates, times, channels and (user-entered) titles are shown on screen. With the Playlist Playback function, you can perform simple non-linear video editing using, such as rearranging the order of scenes, skipping over unwanted scenes, or copying selections

Jump directly to any spot on a disc and begin playback or recording right away with the Rapid Random Access function when using DVD-RAM discs. Even if there is no sequential area of empty space available, this DVD recorder can record data on available space throughout the rest of the disc. You will also avoid searching for a blank spot to start recording, or accidentally recording over desired material.

Enjoy a great picture on you flat screen LCD or plasma HDTV using the component video output, and immersive surround sound via the optical digital audio output for Dolby Digital and DTS home theater effects. It also offers a FireWire port (also known as IEEE1394 or i.Link) for direct connection to a digital video camcorder, enabling you to download footage directly to disc. The full lineup of video and audio connections includes:

RF Input: 1
Composite video/audio input: 2 (1 front)
Composite video/audio output: 1
S-Video input: 2 (1 front)
S-Video output: 1
Component video output: 1
HDMI audio/video output: 1
Digital audio output: 1 optical

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. It provides up to a 5 GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio signals with no degradation in the transfer. It can carry up to eight discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with most DVI connections .

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

High Definition Formats: The most common high-def (HD) video format is 720p, which displays video at 720 vertical by 1280 horizontal pixels. The "p" denotes that it is progressive scan, meaning that all video lines are filled at the same time. The 1080i format displays video at 1080 vertical by 1920 horizontal pixels, and the "i" means that it is interlaced (the old-school way of presenting video where the screen scans the odd-numbered video lines first, then the even-numbered lines). The 1080p format has the same pixel resolution as 1080i, but it is a progressive scan format and thus has a constant vertical resolution of 1080 lines.

really disappointing.......2007-08-25

I was a huge fan of Panasonic until I bought one of these. The remote has a few buttons that just don't work (if you have a suspect IR remote, point it into the lens of a digital camera or camcorder with a CCD imager...press the suspect button while viewing through the camera. You will be able to see the IR LED light up on the remote if it's working.) My wonderful One For All remote does a great job with it and everything else. This thing will not record photos from SD card to DVD. It will not copy purchased DVDs, even those that copied on my old Cyberhome 1500 (a badly UNDERrated unit). I'm worried that it will not record pay-per-view, either. It will NOT play +R or +RW discs recorder on another machine. Upconverting will only work with HDMI output...NOT component. The only good thing was the cheap $49 Coby DVD player I bought to play the DVDs the Panasonic won't, and I'm amazed at the Coby's performance, ease of use and intuitive remote. The Panasonic requires studying the manual and is VERY difficult to do anything complicated with. My last job included being in charge of videography at the engineering school of a big university. I always bought Panasonic equipment and WAS never disappointed. NOW I AM!

doing a fine job, but still have room to improve.......2007-08-24

It does a great job. best we have tried for DVD recorder.
However the video you edited on the DVD_RAM can't be copied out to regular DVD. the recording quaility is good, the best so far, but not prefect.
wish it has more conections in the back to connect to TV and the receiver.
a display of time on the panel when standby wold also be nice.

I find it absolutely the best recorder for the average user.......2007-05-27

I did a lot of research, and went through 4 different brands/models before this one. The others worked ok, but set-up and difficulty understanding the complex instructions made them dissapointing.

I am mechanically inclined, but dont want to have to use that much time and effort for recording movies I saved on a DVR or copying home movies or older cassettes.

This unit is very easy to use, quick to set up and go and does everything I would want from a recorder.

Potential buyers, give this one a SERIOUS look before the purchase, It will save some headache and frustration.

Does the Job.......2007-05-13

Nice Unit, menus are a little cumbersome as with other Panasonic prodcuts. DVD made in -R format would not play on other systems, even after finalizing, but otherwise unit is solid.

Another winner.......2007-05-12

Having recently purchased a HD TV, I needed a recorder with upconvert capability. The Panasonic meets that requirement just fine. My standard DVDs appear almost HD in quality. The SD slot is clever. Insert the card and the photos display, and they look terrific on the HD display. Having already owned a Panasonic recorder, I was already familiar with the recording quality and functionality of the programing, which is quite intuitive. The only disappointment came in the way the machine handles DVD-RW discs. It seems to treat them as ROMs, requiring finalization. Great machine, otherwise. Recommended!

Great for Macs and PC's.......2003-07-14

This is the full "Grey" cable set, not the less expensive PC-only "black" cable, with multiple serial connectors - thus the higher retail price. It works great on any PC or Mac with a serial port. On older Macs without a USB port, it's the only way to go. Great for labs or homes where both PC's and Macs are in use. Allows speedy downloads of programs to your calculator (check out ticalc.org for lots of free software).

It's a great item!.......2001-01-14

Only problem is, that it is only worth 19.00, which is the TRUE list price.

Very handy to have--a good buy........2000-11-26

The TI Graph Link cable connects any TI graphing calculator (TI-73, TI-82, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-85, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 Plus) to a PC or Mac so that you can transfer files back and forth between the two. This is a very handy thing to have. It is extremely useful for calculator backups (a good thing to do every once in a while in case your TI crashes), and you can download a bunch of stuff off the Net to put on your calculator. A good place to get TI programs is ...

You can buy the cable by itself, or you can buy it with the Graph Link software. I imagine that the cable Amazon is selling comes with software. However, if it is just the cable, you can download the software from TI's home page at ...

The software for different calculators (I have linked to the TI-83, the TI-85, and the TI-86) is more or less the same; the confusing thing is that every calculator has a different procedure for linking. With some (such as the 86), you must be at the home screen; with others (such as the 85), you must be in receive (or send) mode.

One warning, however: This cable works with both Windows and Mac. If you're a Windows user, though, DO NOT buy this cable; ($) is way too much. Buy the Windows-only cable (Amazon also sells this), because it's much cheaper. If you're a Mac user, I don't think you have a choice. You must buy this one (or buy a PC, but that would be a bit overboard).

All in all, I would highly recommend buying a Graph Link. Make sure you have an available serial port (at least for the Windows cable), plug the cable in and go. Have fun playing Tetris. :-)

Endless Posibilities!.......2000-09-25

The Graph Link alows you to use your calculators in as many ways as you wish! The great number of software just waits on-line to download it. There is a lot of educational sowftware as well as games and other interesting things. Don't miss the opportunity!

A fabulous piece of technological perfection!.......2000-09-23

The TI graph link has become an invaluable tool for superheroes and non-superheroes alike. It easy to use, large, and convenient for the super-nerd on the go, plus chicks love it! You can even pretend that it's a tricorder and scan for alien life forms. Now how many graph-links on the market can do that? If you are a highly dweeby college student who enjoys science fiction, this is the graph-link for you.
