The Panasonic DMR-EZ475VK: Ultimate Progressive Scan DVD Recorder & More! Review

The product works very well. He actually had a lost part in the fuselage. I opened it up and took it out, there was a foreign object, put it back together. Works great so far. I only use it to play DVDs and VHS tapes. Works fine for that.

Correct, not in high resolution. But this is not a high definition recorder. I haven't bothered with analogue channels as I get them all…
