Customer Reviews

Superb RAM Discs
Just recently bought the Panasonic EZ47 DVD/VHS Combi recorder from Amazon and am archiving most of my VHS tapes to RAM Discs (supplied by K K Electronics - excellent fast service). Having viewed the discs after copying, the images are superb and the recorder/disc combination does definitely upgrade the image when viewed on a compatible 100Hz tv. The copying initiation with this recorder is simplicity itself and I shall definitely stick to these discs (no formatting etc) for all forms of recording/archiving in the future.

Best Value Ram super service
The 10 pack Ram is even better value than the 5 Pack (much to my annoyanceI bought 2 x 5 packs without looking properly tut-tut) Just make sure that your recorder is compatible with these discs. If you are about to buy a recorder make sure you buy one that does use them. They are so much more versatile than any other type. You can erase parts i.e adverts,watch the start of a programme while you record the rest. Even in E.P mode where you can record up to 8 hours the definition is better than most vhs recordings. A winner all the way. March 2008. I have recently bought another 10 discs and would just like to add K.K. Electronis are brilliant I had hardly shut down my computer when the discs arrived (well to honest it was the next morning) But excellent service, Well Done.

Far better than ordinary DVD disks
I recently bought a Panasonic EZ45 VCR/DVD recorder. Very pleased with it - though the first one had to go back, as (basically) DOA... It works well with DVD -R/-RW disks and quality is excellent, though running time is not as long as would be ideal (roll-on HD or Bluray!).
But, as recommended by Panasonic, and other reviewers, you only get the best out of the Panasonic machines by using RAM disks. I bought these from Comet - after trying many other stores - for only £9.99 for 5.
They really transorm use of the recorder - effectively giving you a (small) hard disk drive, that can be used for editing (eg removing commercials) and Timeslip (i.e. watching the beginning of a program while still recording the end - HOW???) - both very useful.
The 9.4GB RAM disks are only double sided versions of this type - and they must (it seems) be manually turned over (like an old-fashioned LP!), so no great advantage, compared with using 2 of these (4.7 GB) disks, instead. (More chance of losing valuable recordings if double sided, and more confusing, too..)
So I would highly recommend this product - with two small caveats:
1. Capacity not huge - 4 hrs recording time in LP is actually worse than VHS, tho' quality is probably better, and much easier/faster to find your programs.
2. RAM disks will NOT play in the vast majority of ordinary DVDs - so you need another Panasonic (or similar model from Toshiba, etc) if you want to watch your recordings in the bedroom, for instance.
Hope this review is useful to you.
