Patricia, Leicester , “I love gadgets”
+ 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.

Debbie, Great Ayton , “Home cinema enthusiast”
+ 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.

Mike, Edinburgh , “Technophobe” More like this »
+ 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

John, Macclesfield
+ 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.

+ So easy to use! Able to record many more programmes than with an ordinary cassette recorder - and to record a whole series of programmes. I'm an idiot when it comes to technology, but even I find it simple to use!

Manufacturer's Description
DVD Recorder with HDD (160GB) and Digital Tuner
1080p Up-Conversion By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, SD format data is up-converted to 1080 × 1920p HD format video data. This conversion to HD format increases the richness of the original data by approximately six fold, and produces the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV. Adaptive HD Enhancer Enjoy watching crisper and sharper video enabled by detailed reproduction of contents on DVD and HDD.
Auto Preset Down Load Connect a DIGA DVD recorder to your VIERA TV via an HDMI cable, and the TV channel setting information is automatically downloaded to the DIGA recorder. Direct TV Rec. If you want to record the program you’re watching, you can start immediately by pressing the VIERA Link button on the VIERA remote control and selecting “Direct TV Rec.” on the VIERA Link menu screen. Pause Live TV Pause Live TV lets you freeze TV programmes just like pausing a DVD, by selecting ""Pause Live TV"" on the VIERA Link Menu.
When recording a TV programme, this function determines where new scenes begin (by “listening” to the voices in the programme) and automatically inserts chapter marks at those places. This makes it easy to skip over adverts and start playback from a particular point.
Fan Control Technology for Quiet Operation DMR-EX769 feature an advanced control system that automatically adjusts fan speed based on information received from an internal heat sensor. When the internal temperature rises, the fan turns on to prevent overheating. When the temperature is low, the fans shuts off entirely, providing whisper-quiet operation. Floating Structure Locating the damper closer to the hard disk drive than in conventional hard disk drive mounting effectively improves absorption of hard disk drive vibrations. DVD Drive Control The DVD drive operates only when a disc is inserted, eliminating unnecessary noise.
Intelligent Auto Standby After watching and listening with the compatible DVD recorder automatically turns off when you return to the TV using the VIERA remote. * 2009 VIERA TV Standby Power Save DVD recorder with Quick Start function will turn on/off when TV is turned on/off. * 2009 VIERA TV
