Although I've had this unit for less than a month, I can tell it's wa-a-a-ay too much of a machine than I need. Its set-up and controls lack the ease I would think it would. It should be 'just put in a tape or DVD and push a button to go'. No-o-o-o. It's set this and set that. Then go back and set this other thing. After all that, hope it works. I still can't figure how to set up over-the-air TV channels. Yup. Have an antenna plugged in the RF IN connector (I'm not a newby, but I seem to be with this machine). I'm sure I'll figure it out, but one would expect it to be a little less complicated. I'm rating it 4 (out of 5), as I'm sure I have yet to scratch the surface of its features and will eventually figure it out. Otherwise, it'll turn out to be a very expensive clock! The instructions seem to be written BY someone who is VERY familiar with the workings. Not written FOR a person starting from scratch with a totally new, complicated piece of equipment. I welcome other feedback to this.
I have dozens of VHS tapes of programs I recorded off-the-air of stuff I love. Wanted to save space by consolidating them to DVD. This recorder does the job very well. I just put in a blank DVD, insert the tape, select COPY and begin. I record to DVD in SP (2 hr) mode. When the disc is full, the recording and the tape stops. I can then insert another disc to continue the recording where I left off -- very handy. For a monitor I use an old 3.5" color portable TV that is not good for much else these days. I've copied to about 30 DVDs so far with no problems at all. The menu system for naming the disc is also very easy to use.
So far I am very happy with this DV-R/VHS combo. No problems setting it up and using it. Previous reviews were really helpful, so I've had no surprises with positives/negatives of the product features. Great price from getting a reconditioned unit, otherwise, I may not have bought it. Built-in digital TV converter works noticeably better than my old converter box. So basically I've replaced three components (DVD, VCR, digital converter box) and power cords with just one! I bought DVD+RW discs which work fine, but would recommend DVD-RAM discs since according to the instructions, have more functionality in video editing, and simultaneous record and playback capability. I can record and then edit video discs straight into my PC (with Video Lab) with no problem.
I like this product very much. The digital tuner allows me to program recordings for digital, over-air signals now that I could not with my previous VCR. It does have some shortcomings though. One is that it automatically adjusts the size of the incoming signal which means that sometimes for a 'normal' broadcast (4:3 ratio), there are black bars on the top, bottom and both sides of the image. Also, it does not allow you to record from a digital signal onto a tape. You MUST record onto a DVD. This perplexes me, as I was able to record from the digital converter box onto my old VCR tapes. If these are deal-breakers, avoid this product. Other than these issues, the product does work well.
I bought this refurbished. and saved about $100. Sofar so good!
Product arrived in a timely fashion and was packed well. Picture quality was GREAT. Unit froze frequently and within six months stopped working altogether. I do not recommend this product nor would I purchase another.
i bought this back when tv went digital so i could get channels without cable. it worked well especially recording tv shows, but especially for recording old video tapes to dvd. this is a re-conditioned unit, so it may have had defects. the customer service was mixed bag: some directed me well and answered all my ?'s, but others told me the unit was toast and wanted me to send it in for $ervice. i was able to get it working again miraculously (don't know what i did). now i use it rarely as i have cable and have no idea how to hook it up.
My first impression was "they didn't know how to build them good so they built them heavy. After picking up the 100 pages manual I added "and complicated". It appears it will do far more than I need it to do which is to convert VHS to DVD.
its great, but would look for one that allows passthrough when unit is off. there isnt any disk open tray button on remote. but it works pretty good
The Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK VHS/ DVD Recorder was in excellent condition, with no sign of having been refurbished. The downloaded User manual enabled me to get it connected and set-up, but it would have been nice to have had the original printed copy, as it quite expensive to print it on an ink-jet printer. The performance in play-back mode has ben excellent.
