Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. on Monday released the latest in its Diga series of DVD recorders, hoping to consolidate its position as the nation's No. 1 shareholder in the rapidly expanding market.
The Diga E200h is the latest version of Matsushita's most strategically important product.
In April, Japan's largest home appliance maker began selling five kinds of Diga series DVD recorders in Japan, the U.S. and Europe. The DVD recorders in the Diga lineup include models with longer recording hours and others that feature both DVD and VHS recording functions.
