good device !! & An attempt to eliminate the last doubts?

-> To the first I would like to echo the positive feedback!

-> Recording in 16: 9 format (often wiedersprüchlich dikutiert) but clearly in the operating instructions on page 4 and described p.8: recording is without limitation in 16: 9 format and with 2-channel sound on HDD & DVD -RAM possible! So there can also be retrofitted on a DVD-RAM (only this!) Copied from the HDD & be touched up on the PC and on this "detour" on DVD - / + R are fired (without loss of format)

-> Digital Signal: However, a disadvantage must be mentioned: if a digital signal is fed via cable, satellite or terrestrial, running course only external Receiver (because only analog tuners in Panasonic device) and then via Scart, etc. pass (clear .. not via antenna cable) can only be done on the connection source recording-programing! There, however, no Senderinformatin is available or can be einprogramiert per ShowView / EPG - also needs the input source at Panasonic and the transmitter also remain set on the Receiver by using batch (ie automatically) execute the shot! However, (you can switch during recording on the analog tuner and watch another program ;-)

as I hope to have some help .. who. a simple working device with high-quality fittings and Aufnahmefkt looking & not primarily digital reception / recording uses is very well equipped!

Recommendation to the conclusion:

- Connection variant on COMPONENT VIDEO jacks for best picture quality

- Shooting FR (Flexible Recording) at recording time up to 120min (automatically adjusts to DVD size 4.7GB)

- DVD always take out of the drive when unused, the HDD hibernation saves as possible!

- Guide Plus + is my personal opinion not required (VIDEO Plus + EPG and are quite sufficient - no updates where simultaneous Aufnhame is not necessary!)
