  Everything works as specified but...
  
  1. DVD drive is noisy when playing and recording, I can sometimes hear the motor noise over quiet parts in a film which is annoying.
  2. The layer change pause on purchased films is very long, much worse than my older Sony DVD player.
  3. On screen menus and graphics are not consistent between all features, it appears Panasonic have thrown together the software from some of their other products into this box.
  4. The DTT guide has no search.
  5. Remote control could be simpler, several buttons have very similar functions.

  Excellent delivery - before breakfast on day after order. Simple to set up, and easy to use basic functions. Clear instructions. Good quality picture (albeit on 26" LCD)

  I purchased this machine yesterday to replace the older model of the same, bought just 2 years ago. As with the previous machine, this one does not like older or more used VHS tapes, causing the picture to 'bend' and flicker, and sometimes drop out altogether. On the old machine, it had seemed ot be a developing fault with no cure - part of the reason for replacement. However, the same tapes play perfectly welll on a 10 year old Sharp VHS machine. I consulted the manufacturer who basically said I shouldn't play old tapes on their shiny new machine if I don't want these problems. I work in TV, and the BBC and Channel 4 still have enormous numbers of old VHS tapes in their libraries, so I have no option but to return this machine today, and buy a newer second hand VHS player and a decent separate DVD recorder to replace it. The remote control is also overcrowded and fussy as has been previously pointed out. Sadly, I cannot recommend this machine to anyone wishing to transfer their aging VHS collection to DVD.

  Purchased this recently and have not managed to get it to work yet (it will have to go back); connected it up as per instructions but get the "no channels found" message constantly... very disappointing.

  I bought this machine recently and find it very good quality both as a DVD player and VHS one. Picture and sound quality are first class and indeed some of my older VHS tapes look fresher on this player . It copies across well and there is no loss of quality . I would have given it 5 stars but the instruction booklet is badly set out and difficult to follow on occasions ( as a tip I reccomend looking at the very last page and going form there it helps a bit ) . The remote is crowded and there are a few buttons which repeat others . Still all in all I bought it for a good picture and sound and there I can highly reccomend it .
