Product Description |
|
The DMR-EZ47 offers high image quality in both recording and playback, easy operation, and improved networking capabilities. Itcomes equipped with the HDMI terminal, which allows easy, single-cable connection to compatible equipment. The DMR-EZ47 also offers Panasonic's proprietary VIERA Link functions for linked operation of other AV devices, and these functions are now even more convenient. It is now possible to control an optional DIGA recorder, when connected to a Panasonic VIERA TV, using VIERA's remote control unit. This provides convenient control over frequently used functions by using only VIERA's remote. By pressing the VIERA Link button on the remote, a DIGA menu screen can be accessed directly from the VIERA Link menu screen, to make recording settings or play a DVD. By combining intelligent i/p Conversion and 1080p Up-Conversion technologies, DIGA's 1080p technology renders high-resolution 1080p images from DVD movies and TV broadcasts to compatible TVs. The Accutune high-precision analog/digital tuner achieves stable signal reception even under poor signal conditions, such as when signals are reflected by surrounding buildings. The Accutune Digital Tuner is a high-performance hybrid tuner capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. It uses a signal processor to effectively control noise and distortion, and its proprietary matching circuits allow it to transform and separate digital broadcasts into the appropriate digital or analog signals. With the built-in Digital Tuner, this will also allow you to record one digital broadcast program while watching a second program. The Tape input signal is automatically detected and optimized using Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) to provide an easy way to even more beautiful digital recordings from VHS tapes.

Good features, but not reliable |
We've had this DVD/VCR combo for a little over a year. Now the DVD tray is stuck shut with a dvd inside it.
It did a pretty good job recording and playing DVDs, but it was sensitive to locking up with anything recorded on another machine and with any scratch.
Overall, I think it had potential - Panasonic just needed to get the bugs worked out. |

Nice unit overall |
This unit is nice, and works well. The only issue I have had for it is that certain DVD's images tile and scramble on this unit that work just fine on other DVD players (including a computer). I don't know what is going on there but it only happens to a very small number of my DVD's.
The VCR works great and it records TV very well. The SD slot is nice also. The method of switching between the SD, DVD and VCR inputs is very intuitive. The unit receives basic cable very well and the picture is improved over the TV (which is almost 5 years old now) connection on its own. Over all it is a nice unit. And I do suggest it for those who are in need of a nice DVD-VHS combo. I haven't used the HD aspects or the VHS-DVD copying features, but what I do have used is nice. |

Waste of Money |

I have the Panasonic DMR-EZ47V for almost 8 months. It gave me a lots of trouble. First of all it freezes most of the times. The units gets hot within 4-5 hours of operations. I have to unplag the power cord to reduce the temparature. I have sent it to the Panasonic repair ( Elk Grove Village,IL) and they says the unit is fine. When they returned the DVD player to me, the cover on the top of the one touch dubbing button is broken. The unit still gets hot within 4-5 hours operations. My other units on the shelves are not gets hot like this. I have called the Panasonic for the broken piece issue. I am not sure if I can get the replacement or refunds. I will not buy any more Panasonic product again. |

Worked well -- for a while |
|
I bought this machine on September 22, 2007. On September 23, 2008 -- exactly one day after the one-year warranty expired -- the machine died. (Well, actually the DVD drawer wouldn't open anymore, so it was as good as dead.) Over those 366 days this machine worked well. The DVD-Rs I burned were of good quality, whether recorded from videos or from satellite TV. I never had a need to try any of the machine's more advanced features. Once a month or so it froze up completely, but unplugging it and replugging it back in always fixed it. Knowing what I know now, I would have bought something more reliable -- or maybe bought an extended warranty. |

Great Buy! |
Takes a bit of getting used to. You know, following the steps in the right order, and all that. So far I've copied two VHS tapes quite easily. Even found it easy to program, to record TV right on to DVD. No different than VHS player in this way. You set the times, the mode (SP, LP, EP) and make sure you turn the unit off once it's set.
There are differences. With a VHS machine, you just pop in a blank tape and start recording. Most blank DVD's that you insert, may require a few minutes to format, prior to recording. So don't expect to just pop in a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW and start recording.
Even though it's a refurb, it operates like new, and for the low price ($130ish) that I paid, it's well worth it. |
