Most helpful reviewsPaul, fleet Never give up,tryer
- Good points:
- Great recorder but you need a degree in science to get to know how to work it . I really think the manual is designed to bafffle you ,when you know how its really quite easy . Lots of cursing and what the f have I gone and bought here going on until the penny dropped , all great now . Hope thats informative enough , I expect there are lots of people who are more adept than me for working electronics than me out there all the best Paul
- Bad points:
- The manual could be esier to follow I am not familiar with most of the terms and phrases used .

- Good points:
- Product capabilities, connectivity, ease of use, sleek design, integration with Panasonic TV (but see below)
- Bad points:
-
1. Does not seem to fully integrate wth Panasonic TV - still need two remote control units.
2. Can be slow to operate - takes the unit a while to warm up before you can watch TV - you need to swithc on a couple of mins befor a programme starts.
3. Instruction book is rather impenetrable, a quick guide for common operations in colour on an A3 paper with a flow-chart to follow would make a real difference.
4. You can use it for u-tube but not for i-player which is a dissapointment.
(note some of the above may be due to our inability to set-up of the machine - overall this is a great bit of kit and I recommend it)

Fiona, Southampton Film lover
- Good points:
- Looks good, easy to use, my previous dvd recorder was Panasonic and the instructions for use are similar. Only had it for a short time so can only comment on basic record and playback, havn't recorded onto disc yet but from past experience Panasonic equipment has been excellent. Very good price comparably.
- Bad points:
- Case is a bit plastic and the layout of TV guide and recorded programes not so easy on the eye as my older machine but maybe there is a choice of layout.
