Worst piece of junk ever.

 

GARBAGE

Pros? Glad the junk broke, got me a streaming DVD, I can watch Netflix, Youtube etc

Broke the first time I tried to convert. It was past one year warranty, Panasonic couldn't care less, despite letters, multiple calls. Probably gave me a fictitious email address to send one complaint to. They're SO DUMB, if they had even given me a

Digital recorder

 

I purchased 2 Panisonic DMD -Ez485VK recorders (Refurbished). The price was right and they do everything I wanted and more. One unit is hooked up to my 61 inch SONY (capable of HD ). I then added a splitter plus an A/B switch and now can record on...

Consumer review by:

not what I expected

I would return it if I could

 

This is very poorly designed. It won't allow taping digital broadcasts to VCR, but then doesn't support auto-finalize when recording to DVD! Unreal - if you want to record something but don't intend to watch it on that machine, you can only record it...

Very nice front panel controls

Cannot record digital broadcast to VCR, but, absolutely incredibly, no auto-finalize when

exceeds expectations

 

My review is based on the unit's ability to burn DVD's from VHS tapes, which is the primary reason for the purchase; it does this fine. I've yet to figure out how to insert DVD chapters, but I reckon I will;

Converter Box Alternative

 

This newest recorder that I just purchased does so much more than recording. It's worth the money I paid for it. It's works in conjunction with the panasonic lcd or plasma tv's as far as using the sd card to view pictures, etc. Panasonic has always...

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. The Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK 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.
