Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: very very NOISY Comment: This is only an average product. I previously owned the Panasonic DMR E-55 model which was RAM and -R compatible only so i was expecting this to be a big improvement. It isn't. It's biggest drawback is the amount of noise it makes while playin discs. I thought it was a fault and sent it back and amazon very quickly sent another but it was the same so i presume it's just the way this model works. Even when you press stop it continues to whirr for about 5 mins. Also when you put in a -RW dvd you must finalise it before it will play on another dvd player which really makes the function useless. I intended to record programs on RW in one room while kids watched their dvds in sitting room, then watch what i had taped later on in the sitting room but it would cost me a dvd RW every time. Finally it sure is ugly. Customer Rating: Summary: Panasonic DVD RAM recorders recording. Comment: To those who can't record TV programmes whilst away on holiday, I wish you well. There is no reason why this cannot be achieved. Two ways. Way 1 1:Set up the Digi box either Sat or Freeview onto AV2 SCART on the recorder. 1.1:Set recorder to start and finish at times required and specify AV2 as program. 1.2:Set the programmes required on the favouites list on the digi box. 1.3.Set Timer. Note, you could even use Video Plus and check that the entry for program has used AV2. It usually does. Way 2. Set up digi box as way 1. With SAT (including FreeSat), set up programmes required in the favourites list (make sure they won't clash through setting program links). Set the recorder to External link via remote or on the front panel depending on model of recorder. The signal used by SKY+ sent by the programme distributer will start the recorder and switch it off into standby. Note that if you use the programme menu on a sat box whilst the recording is happening, the recorder will loose the continiuity signel and stop recording. The first way is the best but be sure to synchronise the favourites list and the recording times. Then turn your telly off at the mains and go on holiday. Customer Rating: Summary: does what it says on the box Comment: Good piece of kit, easy to use and does what it says its suppose to Customer Rating: Summary: Good performance for the money. Comment: Was a little but nervous before buying as the technical details were a little bit sparse and the reviews mixed. I am, however, very pleased with it. It does have scart ports (although no cable is supplied) and it does record digital (once you change the setup, the default is analogue hence the complaints from others). It does record to all formats (including dual layer) which is a big plus and the interface is relatively easy to use. The only downside is that the appearance is a bit dated but overall fantastic value for money!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Much better than my last DVD Recorder! Comment: I don't understand why people are complaining, this is a good dvd recorder/player. I saw a review saying you can't record digital programmes but you can record anologue, what a load of crap, YOU CAN RECORD DIGITAL and ANALOGUE! the idiot must have set it up wrong. I have owned a dvd recorder/player before and bought it from amazon, it was crap and soon became faulty (didn't record). I have bought the panasonic dvd recorder from another place and I'm extremely satisfied with it. More Reviews
