93% of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk give this product a positive rating.

Excellent aV performance ; Sensibly-featured digital recorder

VHS-only VCR ; No pay-TV upgrade path ; No infrared control over STB

A good way of backing up old VHS to HDD or DVD. It also offers great AV performance

Multi-functional ; 250GB HDD ; reasonably easy to use ; solid, detailed images ; makes quality recordings

Styling looks drab and dated ; some picture noise ; struggles to keep a grip on moving images

It's a world away from cutting-edge but it does exactly what it says on the packaging – and to a good standard, too

EAST TO SET UP, DO NOT BOTHER READING ALL THE INSTRUCTION BOOK, JUST GO FOR TRIAL AND ERROR,YOUR SOON GET USED TO IT LIKE ME, IM NO TECHNO

NONE

Does everything it says, easy to use and good quality recordings.

Massive instruction manual tends to be offputting and could be clearer BUT there's nothing it doesnt tell you.

Excellent product for recording from VHS to DVD.

None so far

Can record in virtually every format

Instructions could be a bit simpler

Ease of use: plug and play. I have other Panasonic recorders and haven't had to take the instructions out of the wrapping. Have tried out all the copy facilities, no problems

All in one product giving Free View, live pause and able to keep and play our old VHS tapes as well as recording on hard drive and DVD.

Manual is very comprehensive but also found it to be over complicated.
