Product Description
1080p Up-Conversion
By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, SD format data is up-converted to 1080 x 1920p HD format video data. This conversion increases the richness of the original data by almost six fold, producing the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV.Digital Tuner Capable
The high-performance hybrid digital tuner is capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. And even when digital signals drop out because of interference with direct signal access, which makes the picture either disappear or become filled with block noise, the Digital Tuner still produces a beautiful picture. Easy Operation with VIERALink
Connect your Panasonic DVD recorder to your VIERA flat-panel HDTV via an HDMI cable, and the TV channel setting information is automatically downloaded to the recorder. Once the Auto Preset Download is complete, the DVD recorder will keep whichever TV channel you're watching as its receiving channel. This means you can record the program you're watching by just pressing the Record button on the VIERA remote. With VIERALink, you don't have to worry about setting the recorder to the right channel every time you want to record something. Expansion of Usages
The Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK DVD recorder is equipped with an SD Memory Card slot and USB terminal, which makes it easy to view photos from your digital camera. Just slip the SD card into the slot or use the cable to connect the camera to the USB terminal, and you're ready to enjoy a spectacular big-screen slideshow with family and friends. You can even listen to music recorded onto a USB device while viewing your photos. Universal Design
All of our DVD recorder models are designed in compliance with Panasonic's Universal Design principles. Frequently used buttons (Power, Open/Close) are located at the top of the main unit to make them easier to see when the unit is placed in a rack a

 Good value for the price July 16, 2010
M. Potturi (Lima, OH)
I have recorded Wimbledon finals in SP format using the built-in tuner. It came out pretty good. Almost like HD quality. I tried another recording session with LP setting and the difference in video quality is like day and night. The lessons learnt is never to use quality setting LP and EP. The tuner does a very good job. It picked up all the broadcast channels plus the cable channels that are in 'clear'. Did not try recording off of VHS tape yet. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

First, I wanted to know if the product would actually work without too much of a hassle and how complicated the set-up would be. I wanted a DVD/VCR unit with tape and disc player features. From what I could gather by research, it was exactly what I was looking for as I have little patience with electronics that don't work after taking time reading instructions and performing the set-up procedures. Fortunately, I have a Panasonic Plasma TV so the new Panasonic DVD/VCR was absolutely compatible. Set-up, to my surprise, was really easy compared to other products I've had that didn't work after hours, yes hours, of trying to make it all come together. The best features of this Panasonic DVD/VCR is the ease of set-up, the compatibility, and the automatic procedures offered which actually work. The picture quality of both tape and disc is superb. I am a happy camper
SO Simple!! June 27, 2010

I looked around for a replacement of my old VCR/DVD machine, read all the reviews and came away wondering if I will ever find a decent machine. Well I did! This unit does it all and without any problems.
I would highly reccomend it and the company I got it from, J&R Electronics. They were prompt with their shipping and a company that I certainly will do business with again!!
Works Well - VHS to DVD copy especially works well after you learn it. June 19, 2010

Simplify Clutter
My first goal was to get a machine that would eliminate all the clutter. I had 4 boxes on the TV. A VHS Recorder/player, a DVD player, a Digital Tuner for over the air digital TV signal and an RF converter box. All of these had plugs and cables. This machine met that need perfectly.
Built In TV Tuner
The TV Tuner found my over the air channels just fine. However, channel surfing is quite slow as the unit has a deley betweens stations.
Photos
It accepted the SD HC cards from my camera. I am able to scroll through the pictures on my card but it is painfully slow and some of the pictures are upside down or sideways.
Copy VHS to DVD
I have spent the last few weeks copying VHS to DVD. I have recorded 16 hours of DVD from VHS. There was a bit of a learning curve before I could do the copies just the way I wanted to. I had to call Panasonic a couple of times but they helped me figure it out. Now I am very pleased. I wanted to record in SP mode because each of my tapes hold about 2 hours of family videos. Well, at first it was tricky to get it into SP mode. It wanted to default to EP mode which is much lower quality. I discovered, with the help of Panasonic Tech Support, that you must load the DVD first and let the recorder read the format of the disk, change the mode to SP, then load the VHS tape. I discovered this after burning through several DVDs at EP low quality mode. I thought I had figured it all out when, after recording 6 VHS tapes to a standard DVDs, I discovered that in SP mode the recording stops and the DVD is full right at 2 hours. The recordings failed to copy the last 15 to 20 minutes from the end of each tape. Aparantly, many of my VHS tapes had 15 or 20 minutes more that 2 hours. I had to swithch to DVD +R dual layer. They are more money than regular DVD media but at least now I can get up to 3 hrs 40 minutes before the copying stops. I have chosen to waste the extra 1:20 minutes so that I have an even 1:1 copy from VHS to DVD. The DVDs play fine on my coputers and on the DVD player.
Many Features
The unit is loaded with features and connections on front and back. It came with a remote, an HDMI cable and audio RCA cords.
Price
I bought the unit refurbished through Amazon for $166 including shipping. After all my research and experience, I have decided this is a good price for this unit.

This is a great product. I own two of them, one for the upstairs TV and one for the downstairs TV. Time slip(DVD RAM) that allows you to begin watching program while it is still recording was the major selling point for me. I recommend this product.
