i had a panasonic combi,it had separate buttons for VHS and DVD it lasted for years, so i tried to find a replacement, but i can't find one with the features and ease of access. I THOUGHT that this model would be as good , but i was wrong, it's a good machine, good picture , auto load , but there is one feature that i thought was on it, but it is NOT, and that is, WHEN DUBBING FROM VHS to DVD , I ONLY WANTED TO TRANSFER A SECTION OF my old VHS Cassette to the DVD, i could NOT STOP and START THE COPYING, you must put in a TIMED TITLE of what you want to record.and leave it. I can get round this by using the TV which has a VHS built in , i can STOP and START when and how i like. I HAVE FULL CONTROL to copy the EXACT point and STOP exactly where i want and NOT having to chose a title.I have emailed Panasonic for a Model that has this feature. Read full review

I am a bit disappointed with this, it is difficult to make it record, and there lights which come on when they definitely shouldn't, so one can't actually tell if it is recording or not. And several times I have programmed it and it has not recorded.

A very capable unit, allowing tape to DVD and vice versa copying, as well as the Viera link and FreeView Digital Video Broadcast tuning. The Viera Link capability works extremely well in combination with my Panasonic 3D Plasma TV with FreeSat and FreeView, and DMP-BDT260 3D Blu-Ray player with intelligent network capabilities, once the recorder/players' remotes have been separated to different codes.

I brought this item because I still wanted to be able to use a video after the digital switchover. I love the fact that I can also tape the Freeview channels straight onto a video tape.I have found it easy to use so far.Mind you I have only used the video part of it,so cannot say about any of the other features. I have just brought another one to have in a different room,and am very happy with the quality of recording on to my old tapes.
One of the earlier versions of the Panasonic Combi Recorders. I had a later model that stopped working, so had to have a good search on eBay to find an acceptable replacement. This one is a few years earlier, but in function is not much different. Many of the basic functions are here that are also found on the later versions. If you are familiar with the proceedure for converting or recording from Panasonic Models... You'll have no problems working this one out. It's more basic and also much less fuss to use. You miss out on a few detailed operations, but I think this model will be much more reliable and last a lot longer than the model I had previously that was actually newer and had more technological functions. Go basic...Go clunky... This bit of kit would survive a nuclear fall-out !!! Still records up to 8 hours, still plays on other DVD players once finalized.... Don't hesitate, if you find one of these on eBay or elsewhere on your travels... BUY IT!!!Read full review
