Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK review

Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK

The Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK records video to DVD or VHS; it has excellent recording quality, including an outstanding LP mode; HDMI output up to 1080p; good DVD upconversion; an SD card slot; flexible custom recording speed; DVD-RAM compatibility with the...

Its ATSC tuner cannot deliver full HDTV resolution; no EPG or IR blaster to control other gear.

Despite a few ATSC limitations, the Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK delivers almost all the features and performance we look for in a DVD/VHS recorder.

Expert Review

Although the DMR-EZ47V is a great option for anyone looking for a DVD/VCR combo, the gradual disappearance of VHS tapes means that this product is really only suitable for those who already have large collections.

Great recording functionality, support for DVD-RAM, DVD upscaling

VHS becoming increasingly rare, no high-definition digital reception

Panasonic DMR-EZ47

Getting kitted-up for the high-definition age is crucial, but what about all those VHS tapes you're loathe to discard? Combi decks have been around for a while, but Panasonic's newest is aimed squarely at owners of flatscreen TVs

Superb connectivity, Built-in Freeview tuner, Accepts almost all formats of DVDR

No analogue TV tuner, No HDD, Some picture quality issues

With upscaling from VHS, DVD and Freeview on offer, a hard disk isn't missed on this great value DVD recorder

Undependable; making promises it cannot keep

Panasonic's DMR-EZ475V is a fair-priced DVD / VCR recorder. The unit is loaded with features, and presents with a one-stop-shop resume for tape and disk use, including an array CD and DVD formatting and reading options. Unfortunately, the ...

Picture quality is superb

Cable. This is my third Panasonic DVD-type recorder and none of them have had major failings. Don't believe the Amazon reports of a bad digital tuner as it just isn't true. The secret to good terrestrial digital reception is the right antenna. If you...

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Has high points, but kind of a pain

We bought a Panasonic DMR-EZ475 DVR/VCR combo about three months ago, and if asked whether we'd do it again, we'd have to say "no." The main problem involves scheduled recordings on the DVR side -- it sometimes decides it's not in the mood, and it ...

Excellent picture quality and sound ; self-contained tuner allows recording while watching different channel

Unreliable scheduled DVR recording
