hello My mother has a panasonic dvd recorder model# dmr-es45v(VHS to DVD). She transferred home movies from vhs to dvd. What I would like to know is would it be possible to hook up another dvd player to this unit & take the dvd she copied put it in the dvd player & make copies of that dvd??
Yes, I have did this with my own Panasonic recorder. The output from the second dvd player would be fed (video + audio) into the recorder - just like if a VCR was feeding the recorder.. I assume the original disk is not a DVD_RAM disk;some players won't play them - they want finalized DVD-R or DVD+R etc. Note that the quality may be better if the disk was copied on a PC using the appropriate software - the output from the player into the recorder is analog (as opposed to digital) before it gets reconverted to digital again..
