 Fantastic Machine - love it! December 21, 2008

I have only had this DVD Freeview Recorder for less than a week and I absolutely love it! We have a HUMAX (which has changed our lives for the better) but there are so many good films on over Christmas this year that we wanted to keep to play again (and not use up space on the hard drive); also our freeview receiver upstairs packed up so after researching a bit chose this fantastic machine. VHS is a real hassle now so wanted to get rid of my Video Player and have managed to copy my videos onto DVD which is a bonus. I bought some of those DVD ram disks, which are super BUT you cannot play on an ordinary DVD player. I am very pleased with my purchase and would thoroughly recommend.
Big buttons for older folk. December 21, 2008

I originally bought the Toshiba RDXV48 - 160Gb Hard Drive DVD Recorder & VHS Combi With Freeview as a Christmas present for my elderly father (he's 91) who has a lot of old VHS cassettes he's recorded off the TV over the last 20 years. Unfortunately, the remote control is filled with about 55 small buttons with very small text above each one and my father could not work it, usually ending up in a menu he couldn't get out of. The solution was for me to have the Toshiba, buy my father this Panasonic DVD recorder and he can continue to use his old video recorder.
The reason we decided on this model is because there are not as many buttons and some of them (the main ones) are quite large. It also accepts Panasonic 3x speed, 4.7GB, 10 pack DVD-RAM Disc which my father can use to record Columbo and keep them to watch a few times before recording over them.
He still gets confused, occasionally pressing the red freeview button when he is trying to record something, but it's not as bad as when he used the Panasonic.
Therefore, highly recommended for older folk and people who misplace their reading glasses.

I bought this to transfer my old videos onto DVD, and this has been very easy to do. Having done so I now find that this is a very easy and effective machine. Using DVD RAM's, picture quality at 4hr settings is very good (although perhaps not quite as good as my Humax PVR). For 125 though, I really can't fault it.
The only thing is that it doesn't have twin tuners, so anyone coming from a typical VCR needs to note that you won't be able to record one thing and watch another, if this is the only box you have. You will need a TV with built-in Freeview, or a separate box, or PVR etc. Not a problem for me, but another technophobe (like me) might get caught out...!

I wonder why after buying 2 panasonic dvd recorders keith joseph bought a third after they both packed in. I own a previous model the panasonic dmr-ez25 and whilst picture quality and recording are good from time to time and without warning the freeview tuner just cuts out and the whole unit freezes and has to be turned off. I did send it back under warranty but the same problems resurfaced immediately. I have now had the unit 18 months and its fine when working but every few days the screen turns green and it freezes up.
Also although really easy to use and set up the EPG was designed by somebody who just couldn't be bothered (or some primary school children) unlike the Sony and Samsung units I have seen which are well designed and look great.

I'm surpried everyone has raved about it as it does have major, major faults. Picture,sound & set-up excellant and I have no complaints. It's major drawback is total lack of attention to detail. The "Guide" is very badly layed out with far too may choices on the page and the highlighting is very poor. Far too may buttons on the remote control. Deleting recordings is far too long a processes. A major flaw is there is no "go to" function. So if I want to go to chapter 16 or 1 hour 45 in then I have to press the skip button hundreds of time to get there. The "skip" can be programmed but then I have to reprogramme it for when I want to skip 1 minute. It does not record chapters every 5 minutes as other machines do as it records. It cannot playback mpegs recorded on my computer. I have to convert them to DVD files which takes 45 mins per hour. There is no eject button on the remote. When doing a timer record there is no obvious sign that it has turned itself on. There is a red light but from the other side of the room this is not clear. There is no "power on" light. So overall it does nice recordings, plays back in good quality on any brand of disc I give it. It's just the lack of the most basic functions that annoy me.
