Panasonic Recorder I do not give this recorder a very good rating because primarily it failed to record the titles from the hard disk onto dvds. While this was obviously a faulty machine Panasonic does not rank very highly in my estimation to pass such a machine for sale. I returned the machine paying £17 postage since it was not bought directly from Amazon. I also found that some of the features were not satisfactory. First DVD +RW disks had to be reformatted while not a great inconvenience for blank disks it meant that it would not play prerecorded DVD +RW disks. Second it displayed the programs on the TV guide on only half the screen the other half being given to help. Third one could not watch one program while recording another. Finally I found 100 pages of a detailed manual rather daunting.
DVD Recorder My new Panasonic Dvd recorder with 250GB memory is easy to set up and can be used to record the whole series of a program. this saves me time and having to remember to program my favourates.
Much overated I have two HDD machines an older much cheaper Sony RDR HXD870 and this Panasonic. The Sony beats this thing hands down. It is really slow to boot up the Resume function only remembers where you were until you turn it off whereas the Sony will pick up where you left off the next day. If you switch channels on the older machine it always brings up a screen display showing which channel you are on. This Panasonic only does it sometimes which is really odd. I also find the Function Menu on this one over complicated as is the instruction book which is the size of a short novel. The clock gets confused sometimes aswell and I have to reset it. It's OK otherwise I just wouldn't buy another one.
Brilliant machine Bought this as usually have Panasonic machines and once more they have come up to expectations. Really good easytouse recorder highly recommended.
Died after 13 months Bought this in Feb 2011. It has now packed up with the dreaded U81 error code after just 13 months. Cannot get anything to function and checking internet forums shows this is not uncommon. Usual great service from Amazon when I bought it and when the unit was working was very pleased with it. Easy to record programmes using the TV guide and playback was simple to use. Very disappointed with Panasonic and always considered them top quality. At least I can make use of the 250Gb SATA drive. Bye bye Panasonic hello Samsung. If you're getting one make sure you take out an extended warranty.
Good but complicated! Bought this just before Christmas to replace a Sony DVD/HDD recorder. I'm fairly good with tech. stuff but found this quite complicated to use compared to the Sony. I got very frustrated because it was very slow to switch on and then after a few weeks the listings on the programme Guide+ disappeared! I was frankly all ready to send it back thinking it was faulty but decided to check the 100 page!manual again first! Finally after searching for ages I found the answer to both problems and its working fine now. The size and complexity of the manual is quite offputting but it's important to take the time to read it carefully as the setup is not particularly user friendly.
Panasonic DMREX83EB A great product easy to use both to record and play The set up is strait forward and there are more things to do with this recorder than i shall use but they are there if you want to take advantage of the other programes.
Fast delivery and great product I received the delivery the day after placing the ordereven though the delivery estime was for the following day. The product was really easy to set up and to use and has met our expectations in every respect.
Fine but renown DVD player mechanism problems Hi there we purchased this after a previous Panasonic EX768 DVD player just started to make clunking noises that according to forums is the problem with panasonic we have had this for about 15 months. The DVD trays are also difficult to replace as Panasonic have their own spec fittings. To repair the item would cost around £100 so we may as well purchase another one. On reflection it may have been worthwhile just purchasing a DVD player and separate HD storage to record from our Panasonic set. Take a hard long look and research other makes before purchase of this. We may be able to get the unit replaced under EU law but meanwhile we needed to purchase one in replacement.
