The Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK DVD recorder is capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. 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. 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. Connect your Panasonic DVD recorder to a 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. Frequently used buttons, such as Power and Open/Close, are located at the top of the main unit (this makes them easier to see when the unit is placed in a rack, where you need to look down when operating it).

panasonic dvd/vcr recorder:
Wasn't quite as east to setup as literature suggested, naturally, but everything seems to work OK and it does communicate with TV. Upconversions work just fine. well worth the monies.
Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK review:
Easy to use. Just wish it had a program guide so i would not have to spend time selecting the date, time, and creating a title for each program I wish to record. At least the selection of date and time is pretty easy. Worth the money.
Digital Video Recording with a tuner:
I love this DVR. I look at stores in the area and was surprised to see that all of them was missing a tuner. How could this be! I like to record Judge Judy and other shows when I am at work and watch it as my decompression after a hard day at work. I love the "time shifting" aspect on not worrying about missing my favorite shows. I currently have nine shows that I record each week. The commercial skip buttom is great as I fast forward to get back to my show. Hook up and programming was very easy.
Great But Not Outstanding:
What I wanted was a DVD Recorder/VCR with a T.V. Tuner. I went to three major electronic stores and all three had a the same LG, Sony, and Panasonic model. I had known about the copyright protection foibles with the Sony and I don't know much about LG so I chose the Panasonic. My setup is quite simple, I have basic cable (channels 2-70) with no set-top box or anything, and the T.V. it's hooked up to has broken A/V Jacks so the built-in RF Modulator is nice to have. The multiple I/0 is very helpful because I... more info
