poor dubbing

 

Tried to dub a vhs to a dvd-r. Every 5 minutes the unit would create a chapter on the disc but would stop the vhs and rewind 3 seconds back then start dubbing again. after finalizing watched disc and saw it rewind back every 5 minutes

looks good

dubbing was bad

Really Disappointing

I believed that Panasonic products were of the highest quality until I got the Panasonic DMR-EZ37S DVD Recorder/VCR combination. I have high end Digital cable and a HDTV. I hooked up the Panasonic and let it go through setup. Although I had to set...

Doesn't play burned DVDs-- even those burned using the machine

I bought this in October of 2007 and by summer it ceased playing the very dvds I'd burned from VHS using the unit. Customer service sent me a disc to run which eliminated all dvd playing capacity. I returned it at a cost of $40 (i.e. the cost of a new...

Panasonic failure rates and poor quality-not worth the trouble!

We bought a Panasonic DMR-ES35V DVD/VCR digital recorder, had to return it to Sears when it froze up and couldn't be used! The telephone tech talked me thru a reboot, which worked for about an hour. Took it back to sears. The new one did the same exact...

Very Poor Locks Up

 

Very Poor Locks Up

I have this for over 6 months and it locks up when I use the remote to change channels too fast or other functions, I have to unplug it to get it back, and yes I have update the firmware. It takes over 3 seconds to change channels if you press the...

slow

This product is like dial up internet it is slow. It warms up and turns off like an old pc..Even changing channels is a wait. It will not record DTV on VHS. You must use dvd-Ram disk to get full use of recording. DVD+RW works but you cannot set...

I'm No Techie

I was a little leary before I purchased because another review described recording as difficult, but it had the best reviews in the price range so I purchased anyway. The connection was really easy but I had to read the manual to be able to operate...

Product Specifications

The Accutune Digital Tuner is a high performance hybrid tuner capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. It uses a signal processor to effectively control noise and distortion, and its proprietary matching circuits allow it to transform and separate digital or analog signals. When digital broadcast signals drop out, generally the picture either disappears or becomes filled with block-noise, but the Accutune Digital Tuner produces a beautiful picture even under difficult reception conditions, such as when there are obstacles interfering with direct signal access. This DVD recorder offers twice the horizontal resolution (500 lines vs. the 250-line standard) of many other DVD recorders when recording in LP mode. What does this mean? It means you can fit up to four hours of recordings on one DVD (4.7GB capacity) and still enjoy the crisp, vibrant and exceptionally detailed images delivered by 500 lines of horizontal resolution. Incredibly versatile and multi-format-friendly, this DVD recorder can record to and play back just about any DVD you can throw at it. Specifically, it can record to and play back DVD-R/-RW/-RAM/+R/+RW discs, as well as DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-R (dual layer), DVD+R (dual layer), CD, CD-DA and CD-R/RW (including MP3 files). With a Panasonic DVD recorder, never think twice about what disc you need. Panasonic DVD recorders are equipped with a high-precision progressive video processor that handles 30-frame progressive scan images on NTSC discs. This lets you enjoy high-resolution progressive playback of original DVD images. Simply press a button and One-Touch 2-Way Copying lets you transfer material from VHS tapes to DVD discs and vice versa. This means you can easily record your entire video library onto DVD for a collection that takes up much less space. During tape-to-DVD copying, there's also a handy function that reads recording start (VISS) signals on a tape and automatically creates thumbnails on the DVD discs.
