Manufacturer's Description
If future proofing is important in selecting your DVD recorder but a collection of cherished VHS tapes adorns the living room, then the DMR-EX95V from Panasonic will be sure to satisfy. This unit combines DVD, HDD and VHS recording and playback in one unit, as well as transfer to and from SD.

Go Digital;An integrated Freeview recorder is an increasingly popular choice for those wanting to upgrade to digital, and benefit from up to an additional 40 TV and 24 radio channels . The DIGA DMR-EX95V also has an analogue tuner, rising to the challenge of accommodating both consumers who have adequate Digital Broadcast reception and those who are yet to gear up for strong enough reception.

Built in Hard Disk Drive;The DMR-EX95V has a 250GB drive and is capable of recording a massive 443 hours of footage and it?s not just TV content that you are able to store. It has an SD card slot and JPEG digital photos can also transfer to the hard drive for convenient storage and easy viewing.

Instant Power to Get Recording;The DMR-EX95V adds another technology to the armoury of ease-of-use functions with Quick Start and Record . Many DVD recorders take 20 or more valuable seconds to power-up and start recording.

VHS Refresh dubbing to DVD;DMR-EX95V is a great tool for VHS archiving, not only can precious footage be archived on DVD, but you can actually improve the picture quality of your old VHS recording during archiving! The ?VHS Refresh Dubbing? feature utilises two technologies that literally ?clean-up? the signal from the VHS tape. The Time Based Corrector reduces the jitter commonly found on ageing VHS recordings whilst the 3D DNR technology detects and eliminates randomly generated noise and colour irregularities. Now VHS recorded memories can not only be saved onto DVD, but images are improved for future enjoyment.

Quality Piece of Kit
I have had one for a week, and I am very pleased with it.

The build quality is very high. It was a surprise to see it was made in Slovakia, which is not a country I associate with high-tech manufacture. Maybe it is time to change my perception of that land.

It is a boon to have so much in one box, DVD, VHS, HDD, Freeview, even an SD card slot. It has done away with three machines, and cut down on the snake's honeymoon of mains, ariel and scart leads. This is a good way of justifying the expense to a houseproud partner!

It is fairly easy to use. The instructions are easy to follow, and it has 'contextual intelligence'. By that I mean, if you insert a pre-recorded DVD, it assumes you want to play it, if you insert an SD card, it asks if you want a slide show or to copy photos to the HDD.

One potential problem with this machine is that it only has one tuner. If your TV is analog and you aren't planning to upgrade it before the switch off, you will lose the facility to watch something and record something else when they switch off the analog transmitters. You have to be a bit canny to make sure you are future proof. I am OK with it, my telly has integral freeview.

It can copy to and from any of its drives, but will not touch copy protected stuff like pre-recorded DVDs and tapes.

I am happy with the machine. I would say its main facilities are the 'all in one' nature, the quality and the huge HDD.

Absolutely no regrets about this purchase
Excellent piece of kit, does everything I want and more. Picture quality is good, comes with clear, informative instructions. The remote and menu structures are precise and intuitive. Setup was a breeze, I think the only input from me required was name and address, which can be stored for identification following theft (good idea) Integration with our Panasonic LCD via HDMI is great, it means that mostly we only use one remote all the time. This is a superb item for either technophobes and technophiles, very highly recommended.

After 4 months
Still delighted with this.
Yes it's a shame it doesn't have two tuners, and USB would be better than SD (which I don't use), I can't get it to read MP3 from a DVD-RW, and I agree it would be nice to be able to record two things at once (I can't help pushing things). But considering how flexible it is, it is fairly easy to drive, the quality is good and excellent value. It's playing my CDs (including the MP3s), archiving my old VHS tapes to DVD (trimmed & tidied), and regularly used in 'chasing playback' mode to skip commercials and pause the TV.
