Product reviewsPanasonic DMR-PWT530EB Blu-Ray 500GB HDD Recorder

Brilliant, but ....

Cracking piece of kit, updated version of our old Panasonic bluray / hdd. simple to use, ( even for a cave man like me) fast start up and quality picture and sound in a compact package. Would not consider going for any other brand on this type of product even though other reviews of the latest ones are less than flattering and reckon this is the last of the truly quality Panasonics. Only issue is the bluray/hdd fights for control with the new smart Sony TV and that conflict can bomb everything out until you do the good old switch it off ( for quite a while ) and then back on again.Read full review...

instant actions

Old remote was taking ages to act on button presses - sometimes not at all. This new one is instant. Pity there's no mute button though
