Good Recorder with incomprehensible weakness

After all, there is the manual freely available to even open.

If one is a NTSC DVD, the 56er is once made a meaningless error message. Once one has understood what the recorder from a want, you have to laboriously to the setup and first change the TVNorm, which initially on TV hardly anything can be recognized yet, the DVD will then play perfectly. After the initial setting must be activated again. That makes my TV built in DVD player With Cheap much more elegant - simply plays everything around.

Remote Control: So-so. Good: My TV can also be controlled via the Recorder remote control sometimes - across manufacturers! - That I had so far not yet. A volume control for DVD or CD audio output does not exist - to me it is missing.

Guide Plus Night Update: Sounds once good - practical idea - ie activated immediately. Then, when the first shot decency that fell in the update time you were without one: update or recording. Then it was funny: The corresponding menu items in the Setup refuse with the helpful message: Action not currently possible - class! Note in the manual? If there is one, he is well hidden - great Easter gift. Mail to support - response: zero. Call the friendly support, by the way was reached without holding pattern: "All programming must first be deleted" ... - and in fact, after that I was able to change the setting. Who has ausgacht that the one should ....

JPG display: Zoom - A great thing: Most of the pictures are finally larger than the screen - because you can zoom into the details !? -Pustekuchen - Can be zoomed only if the image is smaller than the screen - great idea, I would not have guessed.

Simply copy images on an SD card and then look in the recorder?

This is only possible if I previously a directory DCIM berthing and the images into copy there. Like the digicam do that too - which is here the benefits for the user?

Playing DivX files: Sometimes klappts, in brilliant quality, often want the device but rather format the DVD again. Why is that, I have not yet figured out (DVD-RW.

A few things come to mind when thinking probably, but nu should first be concluded.

Conclusion:

Technically great device, most easy to use, very quiet. But you see the Panasonic has not abgeguckt with other manufacturers;) - with some details (see above) pity. But that could be a firmware upgrade so judge: For allegedly identical 55er there one for the 56 not. I let me surprise myself sometimes.
