Owned two of these machines over the years. Last of the quality DVD recorder/players. Upscaling and deep colour excellent. Startup a bit slow, and accessing the menu and features a bit cumbersome,but 2008!, so not the latest chips ect.. The only main quibble is that these machines have a bit of a reputation for DVD/RAM failure,so always a worry when the U61 or U88 codes pop up in the display. New drive repairs are VERY expensive,so use a cheap upscale DVD player occasionally to eek out the Panasonic useful life. Lots of machines on EBAY, but wonder how much life left in them!. If you can find a genuine low use model, and treat it carefully they are as good as it gets for the price. Derek Mitchell.3/01/2017.

Best choice if you want to record programs from your Virgin or sky boxes as this recorder unlike the newer designs have the scart sockets on the back so to be able to connect up. This model also upgrades your picture quality to HD when playing back through an HDMI lead into TV sorry this model dose not recorder in HD but still gives great picture quality. HD recorders are out there but cost a fortune. This one is a replacement for one I had before which broke down but did last me quite a few years and that's why I got this one again. As said the new models do not record from virgin or sky as they don't have scart sockets on. Happy recording I'm very happy with mine.

I first got a manual from the internet, this made using the recorder so easy to understand its actions. The programs recorded are super clear.There is no built-in HDD, but the recordings I make on my Humax can be easily transferred to this machine and onto a DVD. I am very pleased with this machine and consider it a very good buy

Its just what I needed been looking for a machine to play lots of dvds which were transferred from video tapes from 20 years ago. Tried other machines but wouldn't play them couldn't get hold of one that we knew about until someone told me of this model

This is my second recorder over the years and I have liked it so much I decided to stay with the same after my original one died. I am very pleased with this purchase.
