Advantages: Very Good sound + picture

Disadvantages: No Freeview

I have had this DVD recorder for over two and years and as always from Panasonic this product has been amazing. I picked it up as a refurbished item for only £60 expecting to replace it after a year with a hard drive version but since the time I turned it on I just wanted to keep it for as long as possible. There are two major drawbacks though, one of which is the lack of free view unless you have a Panasonic television which is compatible with the "Viera link", if you are lucky enough to own a television that is compatible then you can record free view programs although both units must be left on therefore only one channel can be watched and if you are going to leave the system unattended then it would be on which is a waste of energy and life span of the television. When it comes to recording this player exceeds all my expectations. When used on XP or SP mode which offer 1 and 2 hours per disc respectively the picture quality is simply amazing. When played back there are very little artefacts and the sound is pretty much decent considering that most broadcasts are in stereo. Overall a must buy if you mainly record from analogue channels.

Summary: Very good for analogue tv users
