Panasonic DMR-EX768

easy to use - good picture quality

wish it had a twin digital tuner

easy to set up and use

The quality of the playback on DVDs is very goo.

It takes a while to start up and switch off but that is due to having the internal hard drive.But there aren't really any bad points that I know of.

watch recorder items whilst recording

no dvb connection for camcorder

Superb picture quality when connected to tv with hdmi. Very easy to set up and works well with Panasonic tv.

Don't know of any bad points on the machine at the moment, although the Instruction manual from Panasonic leaves much to be desired. Still trying to fathom large parts of it.

easy to use / excellent picture and sound quality/ makes recording simple.

It does everything that it says on the box and it does it well - additionally it's interaction with the Panasonic TV is excellent

Really have not found any bad points

It is so quick and easy to use, no messing about looking for empty tapes or cd/dvd discs, for quick recording straight on to the hard drive. it is brilliant!!!

No bad points, we love it!!!

Very pleased with the results of the recordings and the ease of set-up. Perfect picture quality on playback through the hard drive.

Sometimes misses start of programmes although we are aware that this is probably due to the broadcaster not the equipment.

Very happy with product. Automatic set-up in minutes. Instructions easy to follow and remote much better than the one provided with the previous Panasonic DVD I had. Virtually silent in operation, picture quality during play back exception with the HDMI cable I purchased at the same time even though I cannot record in HD.

Used to use video+ with my old DVD and have found recording set-up from the programme guide rather annoying.

easy to use, loads of memory, good features like freeview

cannot watch another channel when recording a program

Excellent alternative for those who dont want to be slaves to Sky. Great pause live TV, series record etc and excellent playback quality.

None really

easy to use gui (as long as you have the viera link), it doesn't take long to get going setting which drive to use record and play back.

great for recording programmes on hard drive lots of storage. freeview is very handy for recording series timer record, just like sky +

seems complicated at first to use however quite straight forward after a week or two of use

I'm naive about new techno stuff - this thing is cool! The GUIDE recording function is so easy and takes away all the stress.

I haven't found any yet

Looks smart, excellent picture and sound quality through HDMI connection (almost like HD), amazingly faithful recordings (like watching original), good editing facilities, easy to programme timer.

Some minor irritations, DVD mechanism makes clunking noises, recordings on dual-layer DVDs don't seem playable on other machines (but normal, single-layer DVDs fine).

Follows previous Panasonic models for ease of use and standard remote control

No SD slot or USB on this model

Very easy to use. Great for picking up a programme half-way through its recording cycle & fast forwarding through the ads.

Bit noisy at times, but not enough to cause any problems.

Good picture, easy recording. Does it's job.

A little slow on power saver setting, which is the price we pay for saving energy. If you want a quicker service you have to use more energy. EPG a little unreliable in that it doesn't always update readily on all channels, which makes it difficult to plan ahead with setting up recordings.

All round excellent quality DVD recorder easy to use with user friendly menu's.

None really. Not sure if I like the all black facia, a nice dark grey colour might have been more attractive. I however dislike silver.

Nice menu for accessing recorded programs, good picture quality, easy to use.

A little slow to start up, can't display program time left only time elapsed. Can't erase programs and use some other functions when recording.

IT works Perfect ,and is easy to use.

I have not found any yet.

Overall its a good choice, you just connect it up, switch it on and it sets its self up and tunes its self . For what you get I think its good value for the money you pay.

Because it has so many functions it can get confusing.

all

some connectivity issues use good cables

Easy to set up and use

This kit sounds really good for the money especially when played through good speakers. The cd player is excellent and the dab radio is extremely good too. I plumb my tv freview box through it too for films and music and this is well worth doing too

I havn't worked out yet how to quickly punch in a number for a dab radio station so I have to scroll through to the one I want which I find a bit clumsy - worth it when you get there though

Really easy to set up and use

Takes a while to get going when switched on

easy to use. clear and easy to understand menu's. the picture is very good.

none

its easy to set up easy to use neat looking in black

none so far its only 4 weeks old

Excellent quality recording, easy to use.

initial set-up easy... Good guide and series linking. like the preview in navigator of recorded stuff..

Took some time to get instant record/pause live tv from my Viera Plasma set up... ( leave unit in AV1 having connected scarts and HDMI leads correctly) but no real complaints

It looks nice

The instructions are very confusing. I have it connected via SCARRT lead to a Panasonic wide/flat screen HD TV and it is very difficult to view a recording. You can often not record 1 programme and watch another. The HUMAX digibox is infinitely superior. I wish I had not bought it.

Really easy to use on recording

Remote a little comlicated, but maybe that's just me

Very easy to set up and use, a little slow on start up, operating instructions easy to understand, overall a good buy.

Remote control buttons a little on the small side.

Easy of use.

None

Recording and playback are quick and easy to perform. Remote is easy to use and operates TV as well.

It's not multi region.

easy to use, great price

Good looks, simplicity of set up, simplicity of use, range of features and image quality. This is the second Panasonic purchase of this type of recorder and I'm delighted with both.

none so far

Quality product and fitted with Panasonics Viera-Link which is matched to my Panasonic plasma and surround sound system. Large hard drive at 160gb and easy to set up.

A bit slow on start up. On standby will sometimes switch from showing the digital clock to guide.

Simple clean lines - good looking machine. Very easy to set-up. Easy to programme.

Easy to use. Fantastic picture quality on both playback and watching tv through

A little slow when turned on

so easy to setup and use,excellent picture quality ,the "guide "for recording is so easy to use

none so far

good programme guide , easy transfer recording from hard disk drive to dvd

Very complicated instruction book

Especially easy programming due to compatibilty with panasonic tv enabling one touch programme guide that even switches the tv on! Super picture and excellent 1080p upscaling from the dvd.

Cannot find one

Easy to use

Really simple to programme the timer. Instruction booklet is very clear and easy to follow. Initial set up is very easy. Records Sky channels. Had looked at an equivalent Sony machine, but this seems much simpler to use. Haven't needed to burn any DVDs yet, there plenty of space on the hard drive.

Takes a minute or so to switch on after being on standby.

Excellent recordings

Unable to connect an hd camcorder.

Veira Link system - one remote for most tasks on both recorder & TV

None so far

Good design, easy on screen information Power saving programme, standby and sleep

Slow to load from "off" position
