Newegg & UPS are Awesome

 

It was supposed to arrive today, came yesterday!!

So far it looks like it will do everything I want it to do. I will post more as I work with it

Long startup, but there is a standby mode that will shorten that. According to the manual, you cannot record digital broadcasts to video tape, which makes sense, just need to use DVD-RAM disks

Update on previous review

 

Very glad that I bought this product.

Much better dvd recording quality than expected. Very little drop off in quality when recording on dvd from TV on the XP ( 1 hour ) SP ( 2 hour ) and the LP ( 4 hour ) modes with the EP ( 8 hour ) mode a little fuzzy but not as bad as I thought. VHS to...

Panasonic DMR-EZ485VK

 

Records vhs to dvd nicely!Using hdmi cable to hookup to my HD tv.Nice picture quality!Newegg gets a 5star.But the panasonic gets a 4,because of the noisy dvd player.

Dvd is a bit noisy on some of my previosly recorded dvds from my old dvd vcr recorder.Commercial dvds arent nearly as bad.But the drive has a low constant clicking noise when playing the commercial dvds.

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

Read the Warranty!!

 

This machine works pretty good for me - while it is working!  But it freezes just too often - for no reason that I can see.

I have some older Panasonic recorders (no digital tuner) that work fine

I agree with other reviews I have read - the DMR EZ48/485V is a LEMON

Good product, inept service

 

The product (Panasonic DMR-EZ485V DVDR/VCR) is a good product, reasonable set of features, but misleading on capability descriptions. Purchased unit due to change-over to digital TV.  However, the VCR cannot record the digital TV broadcast - this lack...

Reasonable set of features, good connections, digital ATSC turner

Does not record broadcast TV to VHS tapes, inept customer service
