Review on πŸ“€ Panasonic DMR-EZ37VS DVD-Recorder/VCR Combo: ATSC Tuner Silver - All-in-One Entertainment Solution by James Wiley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Seems to be working fine.

We bought this particular brand because it had a digital tuner. We don't have a cable and would have to buy a converter anyway. This is a very complex mechanism compared to a VCR and like a computer, it sometimes takes a while to process various commands and sometimes it needs to be restarted. The guide covers the basics, but there are many ways to go wrong and they don't give you on-screen messages to figure out why something isn't working the way you want it to. Also, the terminology on the remote control isn't intuitive, so I keep the manual handy (why is the button I use to watch my DVD shows called "Direct Access?"). I definitely like the concept of digital recording versus video recording of TV shows. It's easier to find the specific show you're interested in, and you don't have to worry about accidentally overwriting another show. I'd rather buy a machine with a hard drive, but TiVo is the only real option and I don't want to pay a subscription fee. deal with it, I would say it works fine.
