Simpler than it looks
I have been very impressed with this Panasonic Video and DVD recorder as it does what it says on the tin! Copying from DVD to Video tape, video tape to DVD, from TV to DVD from TV to Video and also from TV to both DVD and Video at the same time recording different channels!! What more can you ask I hear you cry? Having considered the cheaper Daewoo unit, but having looked at the feedback comments, I chose the Panasonic and have been totally impressed with this slightly more expensive unit. The manual is a bit mind blowing at first, but once I settled down to it and practised a little it all became very simple and logical, so don't be too put off by the manual. A brilliant machine and a welcome addition under the TV as I can now get rid of my DVD player, Video recorder and DVD recorder and replace it with one neat attractive unit which does the lot! Now where is that ebay button?

Amazing Panasonic
I had previously purchased a Samsung DVD/VHS combi recorder, and though it is a good machine, I was a little disapointed that it did not support timeslip, which I was lead to believe was a standard feature of DVD-RAM. Also the Samsung is a little picky about which VHS tapes it will play back.

Not so with this Panasonic machine, as it will play anything that I through at it, as well as supporting timeslip on the DVD-RAM, and compatabillity with + and - formats.
It also has two tuners, alowing recording of two chanels at the same time manualy or with video plus. But the most amazing thing is that when recording to DVD, it somehow manages to record the program name whether stated manualy or with the timer.
I only wish that I had bought this machine in the first place, as this is the best combi recorder out there, and at a good price.

Well done Panasonic
Having spent some time in deciding on the purchase of a DVD Recorder/VCR Combi, I used the customer review section of the Amazon site for the top 10 machines. The previous reviewers helped me to decide on my purchase and I cannot be more pleased.
The setting up process was very easy and I cannot find any fault with it. I would certainly recommend this machine and I have no hesitation in endorsing the remarks of those previous reviwers. Well done Panasonic on producing a first rate recorder.
