Panasonic DMR-EX769 160GB Storage, Upscaling DVD Recorder Reviews

+ It is everything I want. It has replaced my very annoying top box to get digital televison. I can record programmes in a high quality on the HD and watch them at my leisure. I am a 72 year old woman and was able to fix it up myself.

- So far, I have not discovered any bad points.

+ nice looking easy to use

- only has one tuner not made clear in your advert so can not record and watch at the same time

+ I found this Panasonic model very easy to set up. I was worried that I could not watch one side while recording another side but this model let me do this easily. I have been on this site and other people have said that the Sony models will not let you do this. I went on the "Which" website and they told me that many people found that the Panasonic dvd recorders are very good. Manual very easy to read and understand.

- None so far. I have only had the dvd rec. a month and have yet to finalise a dvd but I am sure this will be easy as the manual is easy to understand.

+ Easy to program recordings using Freeview guide and to replay from on screen recording display

- None

+ Quick and easy and simple

+ Does what it says on the box, great picture and sound. Really easy Guide.

- None apart from its desire to delete ALL of your program list if you allow the Freeview update when a new channel is added, otherwise you get the annoying message asking you to do it. This is not unique to this product, both the previous Panasonic DVD recorders did the same

+ compatability with viera tv and quality sound and picture

- none

+ Easy to follow instructions

+ no tuning turn on and go. easy to use picture quality great

- the instructions are a bit intense

+ Extremely easy to use. Set up was an absolute doddle, and it is a Panasonic-a fabulous product.

- Although not too bad a point, the manual is very comprehensive and therefore there is a lot to take in. The basics though are very good.

+ No need to have an additional digital box. Easy to record programs showing at a later time without bothering to input channel, start time, end time etc. just click the program shown in the programme guide. No need to find an empty disc to record onto for something you will only watch once and then delete.

- None as yet. My husband can't work it!

+ By far the easiest to use - quality images and easy to record with and navigate round the system.

- A frustrating point is the freequent request to 'update' which removes pre set recordings - at least it doesnt wipe out all recordings like other leading brands do

+ very easy to use and quiet when in operation.

- When setting the timer you cannot continue to watch TV and it takes a while to start up.The remote control shape is not easy to grip.

+ Very easy to use - even my wife records programs now, picture quality excellent especially on DVD upscaling. The Viera link function is fantastic as is the ability to pause live TV. I keep finding more things out about the recorder which keep on impressing me.

- Non so far, although the DVD tray feels as though it could be a litte more substantial, but this in no way causes a problem.

+ Easy to use for over 70's

- None found yet
