Excellent picture ; You can delete a programme whilst it is recording another ; Sub titles automatically d/l when recording a prog. You choose if you want them ; Can now receive (and therefore record) ALL HD channels ; No idea about sound. My TV / DVD...

I have one of these Panasonic recorders for each TV in the house and this is my third. Just like the other two, it works as described. Usual excellent Panasonic quality and easy to use for the purpose intended

Only has an HSDM output socket - no SCART. Picture from HSDM is of extreme contrast and brightness. Spoke to Panasonic and it is not possible to change the picture output

Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Great picture and controls easy to use, set up was simple a good product
Annoying if you record two programs at the same time you cannot view other channels ; eg you wish to record 2 films at the same time but you just want to watch the news before retiring to bed, it will only let you view the programs you are recording

I always find Panasonic products well made
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
In the previous model I had, when retuning programmed recordings were wiped out so had to re programme. With this model they remain. Like it a lot, use it a lot
Instruction manual could be better written. Obviously a translation from another language, so has to be read carefully to understand some bits
