Digital camera reviews of Panasonic DMR-E55K Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player , Black
Digital camera Review: The problem was mine, not the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this unit in December 04 and found that the pictures were badly distorted and snowy in comparison with direct TV reception. We tried every available combination of cables from audio-video to S-video to component and could not improve the condition.
We assumed we had a defective tuner in the DVD. Sent it to the Panasonic shop and were told it was OK. Only then did we find that locating the DVD next to a VCR was the source of the problem.
After we separated them, this unit worked perfectly and does everything it claims to do. Thought our experience might help someone else.
Digital camera Review: User-Friendly...I say YES
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit does everything I want it to...recording off cable tv as well as transfering my dusty and decrepit vhs collection to dvd with surprisingly good results.One of the easiest hookups I've ever experienced,super easy remote control operation and programming. You won't find a better unit for the price or a more user friendly recorder....Love It!!!Digital camera Review: Very good, simple to use
Summary: 4 Stars
I think even the eight hour mode looks fine - a heck of a lot better than a VCR set on the best quality setting. My one complaint is that editing on regular CDRs is very limited. It would be nice to be able to insert chapters or at least crop recordings, but no dice. Chapter editing seems to be limited to CDRWs only. It would also be nice to make up playlists from MP3 CDs, it would be nice to be able to have a JPEG slide show, but now I am asking for bells and whistles. I am very happy with this recorder.
Combined with my Tivo, I am in TV paradise.
Digital camera Review: Virtually broadcast quality recordings
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a unit that would both record high quality video at the two hour setting as well as decent quality at the four to six hour setting. Saw the five star rating here and knew this was the one.
I am very pleased with this unit. I am recording from a DirecTV signal and it seems as if I am watching the actual broadcast. I highly recommend this Panasonic recorder.
