Some DVD recorders that feature built-in Freeview digital tuners also sport internal hard drives as an alternative means by which to store your favourite shows and movies. However, the hard drive adds to the price of the device and the DMR-EZ28 from...

DMR-EZ27K

Buy or build yourself a home theater computer ... instead My Panasonic was always well cared for never abused, in fact it was seldom used (maybe 120 hours tops .. over $2 an hour to use it, FAIL) the DMR-EZ28K looks to be the same unit ... Pray your...

Not reliable

My next unit will be a different brand.

Easy to use and set up

I've had 2 of these now and each time the tuner burned out after a year and a half (naturally right after the warranty expired). The units tended to freeze up for no apparent reason and occasionally didn't record a scheduled program

Nice DVD Recorder, but...

Panasonic just didn't give the screw a complete turn on this model.

Records very nicely

No Eject button on the remote. An HDMI input would have been nice

Limited Editing

Solid recording and compatibility with various discs.

Compared to my old Philips DVD recorder, this Panasonic does not allow you to split titles into two halves or record from a paused point on DVD+RWs. There is a quirk whereby the picture changes sharpness every few seconds when recording. It doesn't...
