Product reviewsPanasonic DMR-BW780 Blu-ray Recorder

Smart looking Great features

Brilliant piece of kit Loads of storage Great for editing Videos as well as recording. The downside is the Free Sat, my purchase is going out of production. If the Freeview version has the same specification as the Free Sat it would be a great buy. But not for me as I live in a poor reception area for Freeview.Read full review...

Great Features

Very flexible recorder with SCART input / output, which latest Panasonic model doesn't have, as well as HDMI. Pity it doesn't have a larger HDD.

Manufacturer refurbished DVD recorder delivered with faulty DVD drive!

Looked good at first, but turned out to be faulty, despite being "manufacturer refurbished". Bought to archive sentimental recordings from another set-top box onto Blu-Ray/DVD. Chosen because it is one of the few DVD recorders that permits recording via an RGB input, thus minimising loss of picture quality. I successfully transferred some programmes onto the HDD, and also watched live TV, but then found out that the Blu-Ray/DVD drive simply did not work. A blank unused DVD+R disk was indicated as "non-recordable disk", and commercially pre-recorded DVDs would not play.

The machine has now gone to a Panasonic authorised repair centre for an estimated 2-3 week repair under the one year warranty. A Christmas gift that won't be available for use until February! I fail to understand how a manufacturer refurbished machine can be delivered with such a major fault.Read full review...

Surprisingly Capable Machine.

An excellent product which gives great tv reception and also enables copying of programmes to either blu-ray or dvd, the better quality copy being obtained by using blu-ray. It has 2 built in tuners which is good for simultaneous recording and it has Freeview + which means it will receive all the latest Freeview channels. A downside is that it is not fitted with Bluetooth, so access to the internet can only be gained by use of a physical cable to your router.Read full review...

Good unit

Works well, makes good quality recordings, copies to disc easily enough (if in real time and slowly) and is easy to use too.

Panasonic means reliability and excellence.

Easy to set up and use. High quality picture. In essence, every bit as I expected it to be, did my research and remain a fan of PANASONIC 'viewing goods'. Has all I need in the way of connections at the back to allow easy linking up with TV and surround system etc.Read full review...
