The Panasonic DMR EH 595 makes from the outset joy. Cumbersome exploring incomprehensible manuals may give oneself essentially, the menus are - except for probably quite a few cases - as you want it. My personal special case: the menu item for formatting DVDs I would have liked somewhere else than where I found him, but also those found without a manual. The precision of the functions of the device is OK, the image quality in the default mode blameless. However, we still have an analogue CRT TVs, must remain so on this point left the final assessment of modern furnished users. If you regularly separates from records that you wanted to see anyway only once time lag (the one must unfortunately make it even himself) is the hard drive is more than sufficient. And. The (legal) copying of various formats, eg also old videos from VHS recorder is clearly unaufwändiger than with some appropriate computer programs with this device. All in all, the DMR EH 595 for those users who uncomplicated ministering spirit for all 'need in terms of video, the vile tasks of the media everyday, in my view the right choice.
