There isn't any standout feature of this DVD recorder apart from HD up-conversion that warrants a rush out and buy now recommendation. However, the price is great. No storage capabilities on the unit mean you need to burn directly to DVD, a long...

Great Recording quality

 

I highly recommend this unit if you wish to record DVD's. If I had realized how good it was, I would have purchased months ago.

1) Outstanding recording quality ; 2) Flexible record option allows you to set your own user defined disc record length and video quality ; 3) Signal pass through on S-Video/audio when unit it off. Presumably on the other feeds as well, but I haven't...

1) No TV Tuner ; 2) Does not play PAL dvd's ; 3) somewhat technical interface that could give some people difficulty ; 4) a little slow at times ; None of these are a big deal, but might be useful info for somebody

Great to copy old V8 tapes to DVD+R

Please understand, I am not an expert regarding the latest video or TV technologies and I have no experience with HDTV. I just wanted to save the footage on my 15 years old Video8 and High8 tapes from deterioration. I was looking for a simple DVD...

Panasonic DVD recorders are the best!

My 3rd one in over 9 years.... I got this one only because the very first one I bought finally had to be replaced. It stopped opening the DVD tray (and repair cost/time without it was more than buying this unit) otherwise I'd still be using it. I...

Excellent PQ, but Ease of Use and Features Just OK

Know ahead of time what you are buying; of course this unit has no tuners, that is listed EVERYWHERE, so it should be of no surprise. It does have an IR blaster and features that are intended to control a set-top-box as if it had internal tuners...

Product Specifications

By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, SD format data is up-converted to 1080 x 1920p HD format video data. This conversion increases the richness of the original data by almost six fold, producing the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV. Connect your Panasonic DVD recorder to your Viera flat-panel HDTV via an HDMI cable, and the TV channel setting information is automatically downloaded to the recorder. Once the auto preset download is complete, the DVD recorder will keep whichever TV channel you're watching as its receiving channel. This means you can record the program you're watching by just pressing the Record button on the Viera remote. With Viera Link, you don't have to worry about setting the recorder to the right channel every time you want to record something. The Panasonic DMR-EA18K DVD recorder is equipped with an SD Memory Card slot and USB terminal, which makes it easy to view photos from your digital camera. Just slip the SD card into the slot or use the cable to connect the camera to the USB terminal, and you're ready to enjoy a spectacular big-screen slideshow with family and friends. You can even listen to music recorded onto a USB device while viewing your photos. All of Panasonic's DVD recorder models are designed in compliance with Panasonic's universal design principles. Frequently used buttons are located at the top of the main unit to make them easier to see when the unit is placed in a rack and you need to look down when operating it. Both the remote control and Graphical User Interface (GUI) were designed for easy use by everyone, based on the results of a Panasonic survey.
