Advantages: HD like picture and Serial Recording

Disadvantages: Maybe being only one tuner

The Panasonic DMR-EX768 was on my must have list for a while before I actually took the plunge. I read many reviews and studied the spec assiduously. The net result being that my expectations were high and, wait for it, I was definitely not disappointed!

UPSCALING
This bit of great looking kit enhances your DVDs and digital recordings to HD like images. As I had purchased a Panasonic Plasma Screen TV over a year ago this upscaling was the main motivation for getting the DMR. Picture and sound are amazing; no diappointment on that score, really well worth it.

VIERA LINK
Another good reason for acquiring the DVD recorder is the ability to use the Viera Link facility; basically you don't need to keep two remotes to hand as the link allows for recording control using the TV remote. Haven't figured out all that can be controlled but seen enough to know it's dammed useful.

TUNER
I had reservations about the fact that there is only one digital tuner in this unit, would really have liked two for the flexiblity it offers. With the tuners in the TV being Freeview and Analogue the disadvantage hasn't actually been an issue. Other advantages being the serial recording and ease of use of the EPG for viewing or recording.
