5 out of 5 stars QUALITY GEAR   November 13, 2008
Already owning a couple of Panasonic DVD Recorders I didn't hesitate in purchasing this model.

Alas there was a minor fault on the one I bought, but it was replaced by Amazon within 3 days.

I am very pleased with it and like most will not use all facilities on the recorder, but I do like being able to record a complete series by selecting the first episode and then just clicking a button.

HDMI upgrading of picture quality is superb

Very Pleased



2 out of 5 stars A disappoining purchase   November 2, 2008

After researching the various models on the market I decided to buy this HDD DVD recorder based largely on the good reviews it has received. I was however very disappointed with what I received. The Electronic program guide is very slow and nowhere near as usable as the one on my Samsung TV. The recording quality on anything other than standard compression is very poor; and the navigation through recorded programs is painfully slow. It groups programs that are recorded weekly together, but does not allow you to manipulate this grouping.

In its favour the device runs very quietly compared to the Sony I used to have.

this player is very good. Pause live TV works very well. Though the brochure mentions that pause live TV works with dvd own tuner, it even works well with ext link( satellite reciver). Very good editing- ease of use. If you also have panasonic Tv it makes life still more easier.Great buy - hurry


5 out of 5 stars Top machine for the money   October 29, 2008

First of all top marks for amazon for being the cheapest price around by far for this machine,No one else can get anywhere near amazons price.
As for the machine well top marks again go to Panasonic for turning out a top spec machine and does mostley what you would expect a higher end dvd recorder to do,looks good as well.
Only had recorder for a few days but so far very impressed with what it does and what it can do.Basic setup was very easy, but have a good read of the manual for other functions.Was impressed with editing and copying functions,does alot more than my jvc machine used to do.
Cant see where previous reviewer said machine was very noisy,mine is very quiet, only time it is slightley noisey is when you do a top speed dubbing,
but then again you would expect that from most machines,if that annoys you that much you can change the copy speed to run slower and quieter but then you would defeat the object of high speed dubbing wouldnt you ?
Records onto all discs that i have tried in it,only discs i found not quite as good was r+ and rw+ as they will not do high speed copy,but not the end of the world.
Copied a two hour recording in standard play on the hard drive onto a dvd-r disc in eleven minutes,Pretty good i thought and the picture and sound quality was superb.
As i said only just got machine so still playing,but so far only good reports coming from me.
Hopefully i wont find any bad points,so once again well done Amazon and Panasonic.
