- Progressive Scan Technology
- The DMR-ES18 is a progressive scan DVD player, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once; scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.
- Component Video Output
- With playback specifications that meet the standards of professionals, the DMR-ES18 features a component video output for high-resolution low-distortion video playback.
- DV (IEEE 1394) Input
- Simply connect your digital video camera to the DV input terminal, and you're ready to record images onto a DVD recordable disc.
- Recordable DVD Media
- Record your favorite TV shows or home movies onto DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, and DVD-RAM discs. The DMR-ES18 is also compatible with DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL media and provides up to 14 hours of media recording.

- Don't worry about limited playback capabilities, the DMR-ES18 can play DVD-Video, DVD-R/W, DVD-R DL, DVD+R/W, DVD+R DL, and DVD-RAM discs. Also, you can play your favorite songs from CDs or MP3 files, and JPEG images.

Comments about Panasonic DMR-ES18 Multi-System, Multi-Zone DVD Recorder:
I am in the Video industry, I have tried several different recordables, but I find the Panasonic products are the best. I wish they stocked them in stores, so I can grab whenever the old one dies, which is usually 2 to 3 years, and in the video world,that is unheard of... Thanks B&H
