Advantages: EP 8 Hour recording compatability Disadvantages: Poor Programming and DVD record Quality
...This has to be one in the top ten of worst purchases ever, the PanasonicDMR-EZ 27, is just poor quality for today's market, chapter creation is poor, the overall recording is very poor to say the least, and the menus, including the TV guide for free view, look like something from the dark ages, like the old BBC Square computers some of us had at school.
I think Panasonic have thrown this one together, the colour and design is quite nice, but I think more though should have been applied, been the owner of a previous Panasonic, I also noticed that they have removed some of the easy to use features, like saving titles so you don't have to keep retyping every time you record another one of your favourite episodes etc...
Overall I would give these DVD Recorders 4/10 marks....

Advantages: Ease of use, Picture quality, flexibility. Disadvantages: Instruction manual could be clearer but you get to know in the end.
...With all the high quality digital tv that is around now, the old faithful video recorder is struggling, the quality of a video recording of your favourite tv show can be grainy and no where near the quality of the tv program, well that was until now.
The PanasonicDMR-EX85 allows you to recorder tv in digital quality and I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference in quality from the original program and the recording of it, yes the quality is that good. The PanasonicDMR-EX85 has a 250GB hard disc drive that can hold 57 hours in XP recording mode (THIS IS THE HIGHEST QUALITY SETTING) SP recording mode 115 hours, LP recording mode 230 hours, and finally EP recording mode which gives 460 hours. I cannot tell any difference between the XP and SP so I always use the SP mode, I have tried the LP mode and again I could not see any...

Advantages: Lots of features, easy for simple operations Disadvantages: poor remote, complicated for advanced actions
..., don't forget to finalise!!!
Overall, I'd say the DMR-EH is very capable at what you'd want to do, but is a little overpriced considering. Several of the cheaper systems made by panasonic should work just as well.
Happy Hunting!...

I recently purchased one of these units in silver and have to say that my first impressions were not as good as I\'d hoped. Although it\'s really easy to operate the basic functions of this machine they have made it quite tricky to use more advanced... more
