Panasonic DMR-EH50

 

Manual does not inform you that this DVD has a software package which I had to download from Panasonic site and install to correct errors in the original software.

Good quality recording and playback, but very complex procedures

Manual is poorly written and omits some important features

I have had one for 3 years. It now has stopped working properly. Takes 20-30 seconds to react to a command. Sometimes it will allow me to sched a prog, sometimes it will not respond.

Playback pictures are very good

remote is complicated to use

This is the second DVD/DVR's i've owned, the first being the phillips HDRW720, which I had nothing but problems with. The EH50 has been great. Easy set up and recording and I had no problems with Bresnan Digital Cable. The User Interface could use a...

100 GB hard drive, great recording quality, high speed recording, Free TV Guide

Horrible User Manual (luckily its fairly ease to use), No pause/rewind live TV function

Easy scheduler. Produces good quality DVDs. HDD very useful. Realively easy to remove commercials from off air broadcasts

Omnipresent TV Guide interface whether used or not (I don't). When creating and combining chapters, leaves a chapter "marker" when one is not desired

Seems to work ok in the manual mode. I live in the Raleigh area and the TV Guide will not load from Time Warner digital. Panasonic needs to provide an instructional DVD with the unit. Most frustrating trying to follow the manual.

Many formats and large HDD

Terrible documentatilon

I think it's great!!!

I purchased this DVD recorder almost 2 years ago after receiving a different brand as a gift. The one given to me had a problem and had to be returned and was out of stock. I did some research and decided to buy this one. I have been extremely happy...

Iam cheap - so I bought the only DVR I could find that required no subscription or payments after the initial purchase. And may I say it work just fine - a little difficult at times to program, but no extra costs!

Panasonic does it right again

 

So I've had this recorder for over a year and a half. I use it every day to record for later viewing and archiving when I want to keep it. It records to hard drive flawlessly and archives to DVD +/- R, 99% of the time. Sometimes if the video has been...

Good menu navigation, 99% dependable dubbing, 100% hard drive recording and scheduling

The newer models have firewire input

Product Specifications

Improved horizontal resolution in LP mode renders images twice as sharp as last year's models, delivering up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution. A new 12bit Analog-to-Digital converter provides high bit, high rate sampling to convey even subtle nuances and produce smooth, beautiful recordings with astounding depth. What's more, this model has the PAL Progressive Scan feature, so you can enjoy highly detailed, high-resolution playback. The DMR-EH50's built-in SD Memory Card slot and SD viewer for JPEG images allow fast, easy networking and file sharing between the DVD Recorder and many Personal Computers, Digital Cameras and Video Cameras, and other SD-enabled A/V devices, such as Panasonic's line of fully integrated VIERA Plasma Displays.
