Summary: The DMR-EZ47V has so many 'quirks' and Panasonic Customer Service is so awful that I would highly recommend NOT purchasing this unit or any closely related to it.
Summary: I have had this machine for 9 months and it has been okay. Plays DVD's in very good quality. It does not record in HD to DVD from a cable box.
Summary: I bought this machine on September 22, 2007. On September 23, 2008 -- exactly one day after the one-year warranty expired -- the machine died.
Summary: When I bought this unit in May 2007, it was my first DVD recorder and came loaded with all the features I wanted: VHS-to-DVD dubbing, a built-in tuner, 1080p
Summary: The device is slow and not very user frendly. Once the power button is depressed, the recorder is idle for about 30 seconds with the word Hello on the screen.
Summary: I researched the best dvd/vcr recorder combo to buy and this one really seemed to be the best option. I received it 4 days ago and today it no longer works.
