Digital camera reviews of Panasonic DMR-EZ27K Up-Converting 1080p DVD-Recorder with ATSC Tuner
Digital camera Review: An improvement from VCR, but BEWARE!
Summary: 3 Stars
Before purchasing the Panasonic, I was recording TV programs with a VCR, and watching movies on a DVD player. The two most important improvements with the DVD recorder are: 1) It has a digital tuner, so my rabbit ears (I have no cable or dish) pick up digital broadcast stations, which are received easier than the analog ones. The once-snowy channels are now crystal-clear. Distortion can still occur, but it's still better than analog, which I can still receive, anyway. 2) This unit does not have the out-of-sync problem (sound not synced with picture) that many DVD players have. The last DVD player I bought had this problem right out of the box! Very frustrating.
The reason I didn't give more stars is because the unit is slow to some commands, and because the menus are difficult to navigate. The folks that never knew what the blinking 12:00 on the VCR was for, may have a hard time learning how to use this unit. Keep in mind, the sluggishness may be the nature of the technology, and not the fault of this unit. It's the only DVD recorder I've used.
For those concerned with the switch to digital broadcast in February 2009, this unit allows you to receive digital broadcast and keep your analog TV.
Update: I've struggled with this unit for a year, now, and it has turned out to be faulty. Windows pop up randomly during playback, and it refuses to detect digital channels anymore, no matter how many times I reinitialize. I am very frustrated, and I'm changing my stars: One star.
